THE IMPACT OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARDSON THE QUALITY OF PEOPLE'S LIFE

Through the promotion of the human security concept, the UN Development Agency offered an analytical framework that enables the identification of the security problem sources. By monitoring relevant indicators within seven areas essential for people's quality of life, the Human Security concept enables directed action on recognized sources and their elimination. The importance of applying standards of International Organization for Standardization as a platform for creating public policies to achieve sustainable development goals is indisputable. One of ISO's missions is to help developing countries build their capacities in areas such as designing development strategies, technical and operational expertise and familiarizing policymakers with the benefits of applying international standards. Certainly, for the realization of this potential, more active participation of the governments of developed countries is necessary; with their political authority based on economic power, the developed countries would contribute to ensuring that the standards are equally respected regardless of the level of development of a country.
