This book ambitiously weaves together history and politics to
explain all of the major situations where mass atrocities have
occurred, or been prevented, over the 15 years since the
'Responsibility to Protect' (R2P) was adopted at the 2005 UN World
Summit. The author provides a history of human rights, mass
atrocities and the principle of the R2P from the perspective of
someone whose day job has been to work with the UN Security
Council, various governments and civil society to help ensure the
international community does not fail those who face the threat of
genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity today. It examines
the implementation of the controversial principle of R2P since 2011
and how we end the politics of impunity, indifference and inaction
once and for all. Using case studies from Iraq, Syria, Myanmar and
Libya, the book offers a unique perspective regarding how we make
'never again' a living principle, rather than a cliche and how we
end the politics of impunity, indifference and inaction once and
for all. It will be of especial interest to scholars, students and
policymakers working in the fields of international politics or
concerned about human rights, atrocities, the United Nations and
international justice in the world today.
