This edited volume examines the multifaceted impact of the COVID-19
pandemic on peoples and states in East Asia. The book brings
together selected case studies in Southeast Asia and the wider East
Asian region that analyse how states in the region have responded
to the pandemic and its multi-dimensional threats to human
security, including risks of atrocity crimes. In the context of
protecting human security and upholding the Responsibility to
Protect (R2P), the work analyses how such a consequential crisis
has compounded socio-economic and political problems, exacerbated
societal fault lines, and created new types of risks for people's
safety and security. Using the United Nations Framework of Analysis
for Atrocity Crimes: A Tool for Prevention, the book presents seven
case studies that identify relevant risks factors confronting
selected countries and the extent to which the global pandemic has
magnified and/or exacerbated such risks for affected populations.
It draws key lessons on how states should manage extant and
emerging risks for atrocity crimes and how they can build and
enhance their capabilities for preventing atrocities in both
conflict-affected and relatively stable states, particularly within
the context of Pillar 1 (prevention) and Pillar 2 (capacity
building) of the R2P principle. This book will be of much interest
to students of the Responsibility to Protect, humanitarian
protection, Asian politics, International Relations, and Security
studies.
