Bachelor Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Politics -
International Politics - Topic: International Organisations, grade:
70, University of Cape Town (Department of Political Science),
course: International Relations, language: English, abstract: A
large portion of the literature that deals with the evolution of
the R2P focuses on the principle's progression from the ICISS

to build consensus on and commitment to the R2P, but has also
engendered widespread hostility and suspicion towards the
principle. The result is an international endorsement of the R2P
that is substantially different from its initial emergence in the
ICISS report, which by many accounts lacks much of the substance
