Summary/Abstract: The concept of “culture” as a component of humanitarian policy and national security is analyzed. It has been established that “culture” contributes to the establishment of the status of identity in the international arena, as the “social contract” must be formulated in its bosom. Concepts such as: “culture,” “ethnicity,” “people,” “nation” are defined. Such normative acts as: UNESCO resolution “The role of culture in ensuring stability, peace and security: a new international agenda,” the Law of Ukraine “On Culture,” “UN Millennium Declaration,” the concept of humanitarian development of Ukraine (NAS of Ukraine). It has been proven that the sphere of culture is not limited to the exhibition and artistic space, but is an environment of values and ideology, and we must build a culturally marked world of humanitarian policy. This should become our state-building position and a conscious choice. After all, they become nations through blood, the creation of state institutions, and most importantly – culture.
