This book explores the relationship between the Responsibility to
Protect (R2P) and the International Criminal Court (ICC),
challenging the assumption that they are always mutually
reinforcing or complementary, and examining instead the many
tensions which arise between the immediate imperative of saving
lives, and the more long-term prospect of punishing perpetrators
and preventing future conflicts through deterrence. Around the
world, audiences in the mid-1990s watched the mass atrocities
unfolding in Rwanda and Srebrenica in horror and disbelief.
Emerging from these disasters came an international commitment to
safeguard and protect vulnerable communities, as laid out in the
R2P principle, and an international responsibility to punish
perpetrators, with the establishment of the ICC. The book provides
context-independent proposals for resolving contradictions between
the two principles, suggesting that focusing on timing and
sequencing in invoking international R2P and ICC actions could
facilitate the easing of tensions. Drawing on examples from Uganda,
Kenya, and Darfur, the book applies International Relations
concepts and theories in order to deepen our understanding of
international responses to mass atrocities. Ultimately the book
concludes that a 'Protection First, Justice Later' sequence
approach is necessary for managing the tension and facilitating
more effective and consistent international responses. This book
makes an important contribution to discussions and debates
surrounding international responses to genocide and mass
atrocities. It will be of special interest to scholars, students
and policymakers in International Relations, Global Governance,
African Studies, International Development, Human Rights and
International Criminal Law.
