The Responsibility to Protect - R2P - is the global moral compact that will end atrocity crimes. |
 |
 |
| The Responsibility to Protect doctrine, initially given a voice by leaders in the human rights community in 2001, is the enabling principle that first obligates individual states and then the international community to prevent and end unconscionable acts of violence irrespective of where those acts occur. R2P was universally endorsed at the 2005 World Summit and then re-affirmed in 2006 by the U.N. Security Council. |
