Indivisible security or the indivisibility of security is a term first used during the Cold War.[1][2] First included in the Helsinki Accords as the "indivisibility of security in Europe", the term states that the security of one nation is inseparable from other countries in its region.[1] In 2022, Russia has used this term to justify its military build-up near Ukraine, which ultimately led to a full-fledged invasion.[1] The term has also been promoted by China,[3] including as part of its promoted "global security initiative".[4]
