Hollow Norms and the Responsibility to Protect

  • 809 Accesses

Abstract

In his first report on the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) since becoming UN Secretary-General, António Guterres noted, ‘There is a gap between our stated commitment to the responsibility to protect and the daily reality confronted by populations exposed to the risk of genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity’ (2017, p. 1). Guterres thus succinctly identified the paradox that is the focus of this book; R2P is more popular amongst states than ever, yet state-sponsored oppression, and indeed atrocity crimes, are on the rise.
