Abstract | Few in the international political and diplomatic communities could have imagined the international standing and influence that the new doctrine of the responsibility to protect (R2P) would succeed in attaining in the decade since it was first conceived. Formulated first in the report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty in 2001 in response to widespread criticism of the idea of humanitarian intervention, the core principles of R2P were set down and accepted by UN General Assembly only four years later at the World Leader’s Summit in September 2005. It was then formally recognised and incorporated by the UN Security Council in a series of resolutions that followed. In each of these resolutions, the Council reaffirmed the responsibility of sovereign states and the international community to take all necessary steps to prevent populations from genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and ethnic cleansing. |
