In 2005, the international community made a landmark commitment to
prevent mass atrocities by unanimously adopting the UN's
"Responsibility to Protect" (R2P) principle. As often as not,
however, R2P has failed to translate into decisive action. Why does
this gap persist between the world's normative pledges to R2P and
its ability to make it a daily lived reality? In this new book,
leading global authorities on humanitarian protection Alex Bellamy
and Edward Luck offer a probing and in-depth response to this
fundamental question, calling for a more comprehensive approach to
the practice of R2P - one that moves beyond states and the UN to
include the full range of actors that play a role in protecting
vulnerable populations. Drawing on cases from the Middle East to
sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, they examine the forces and
conditions that produce atrocity crimes and the challenge of
responding to them quickly and effectively. Ultimately, they
advocate both for emergency policies to temporarily stop carnage
and for policies leading to sustainable change within societies and
governments. Only by introducing these additional elements to the
R2P toolkit will the failures associated with humanitarian crises
like Syria and Libya become a thing of the past.
