This book will consider a rapidly emerging guiding general
principle in international relations and, arguably, in
international law: the Responsibility to Protect. This principle is
a solution proposed to a key preoccupation in both international
relations and international law scholarship: how the international
community is to respond to mass atrocities within sovereign States.
There are three facets to this responsibility; the responsibility
to prevent; the responsibility to react, and the responsibility to
rebuild. This doctrine will be analysed in light of the parallel
development of customary and treaty international legal obligations
imposing responsibilities on sovereign states to the international
community in key international law fields such as international
human rights law, international criminal law and international
environmental law. These new developments demand academic study and
this book fills this lacuna by rigorously considering all of these
developments as part of a trend towards assumption of international
responsibility. This must include the responsibility on the part of
all states to respond to threats of genocide, crimes against
humanity, ethnic cleansings and large-scale war crimes. The
discussion surrounding aggravated state responsibility is also
explored, with the author concluding that this emerging norm within
international law is closely related to the responsibility to
protect in its imposition of an international responsibility to act
in response to an international wrong. This book will be of great
interest to scholars on international law, the law of armed
conflict, security studies and IR in general.
