| Abstract: | The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle is a milestone in international law and world governance that occurred in the early 21st century as a reaction to the inability of the international community to stop atrocities like the Rwandan Genocide and the Yugoslav crisis. R2P is based on the argument that sovereignty is not an entitlement, but an obligation. It holds that states bear the fundamental responsibility to safeguard their citizens against genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. If a state is not willing or able to do so, the international community, by means of the United Nations and other multilateral institutions, bears a legal and moral responsibility to step in—first by diplomatic and humanitarian intervention, and subsequently if need be, by collective military action authorized by the UN Security Council. This paper discusses the legal foundations of R2P, including its origin in customary international law, the UN Charter, and the 2005 World Summit Outcome Document. It assesses the utility and limitations of legal instruments employed to apply R2P, including Security Council resolutions, International Criminal Court prosecutions, and regional interventions through frameworks such as the African Union's norms. The examination also addresses criticism of R2P, including issues with state sovereignty, the inconsistency and selectivity in its application, and the dangerous abuse of humanitarian justification by political or imperial motives. This research places R2P in the wider framework of global justice and international legal reform and serves to assert that though R2P is a developing norm and not a binding legal principle, it does play an important role in informing the expectations of state action and international responsibility. The essay demands more robust legal frameworks, more distinct intervention criteria, and more political will to ensure uniform and objective application of R2P for safeguarding vulnerable groups everywhere. |
