This book provides an innovative contribution to the study of the
Responsibility to Protect and Kantian political theory. The
Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine has been heralded as the
new international security norm to ensure the protection of peoples
against genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against
humanity. Yet, for all of the discussion, endorsements and
reaffirmations of this new norm, R2P continues to come under fire
for its failures, particularly, and most recently, in the case of
Syria. This book argues that a duty to protect is best considered a
Kantian provisional duty of justice. The international system ought
to be considered a state of nature, where legal institutions are
either weak or absent, and so duties of justice in such a condition
cannot be considered peremptory. This book suggests that by
understanding the duty's provisional status, we understand the
necessity of creating the requisite executive, legislative and
judicial authorities. Furthermore, the book provides three
innovative contributions to the literature, study and practice of
R2P and Kantian political theory: it provides detailed theoretical
analysis of R2P; it addresses the research gap that exists with
Kant's account of justice in states of nature; and it presents a
more comprehensive understanding of the metaphysics of justice as
well as R2P. This book will be of much interest to students of the
Responsibility to Protect, humanitarian intervention, global
ethics, international law, security studies and international
relations (IR) in general.
