The concept of the responsibility to protect not only the peoples
of one's own state but also those people of another sovereign state
should that state fail to protect its people has emerged into the
national and international debate. Many states, multinational
organizations and the UN have adopted this concept to varying
degrees. The U.S. has increasingly incorporated this concept into
its political rhetoric. Military guidance, the QDR, along with
statements from political leaders continue to stress the
expectation that the U.S. will face the need to protect citizens of
other states from humanitarian suffering from natural or manmade
atrocities. The lessons learned from previous humanitarian crises,
such as Somalia, Rwanda, Kosovo, Darfur, and Burma have shaped the
U.S.'s approach toward intervention. Trends and threats facing the
nations of today have the potential to lead to destabilization of
governments and threaten national, regional and global security.
