The UN Human Rights Council, Denmark, and R2P—the Perfect Match
The United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) is under-researched and undervalued as a forum for the implementation of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) norm. This article analyses the HRC’s potential and, as a case study, how Denmark approached R2P and atrocity prevention during its first membership of the HRC (2019–21). Despite having a longstanding positive record on advancing R2P, Denmark did not make the norm an explicit priority for its H…
On the 20 th anniversary of the responsibility to protect: Can small states save R2P from failure and oblivion
This article presents the background for and some main themes emerging from a research project on small states and atrocity prevention at the United Nations. The UN norm of the responsibility to protect (R2P) is widely considered to be struggling due to a tense global political climate and a lack of political will among member states to commit to the norm. The articles in this special issue address the role of small states in promoting the norm. …
The International Court of Justice and the Responsibility to Protect: Learning from the Case of The Gambia v. Myanmar
It is a commonplace in the R2P discourse to describe accountability measures as key means to implement the responsibility to protect. In particular, the International Criminal Court is regularly highlighted as a central actor, both in the literature, the annual R2P reports issued by the UN Secretary-General, and the subsequent debates in the UN General Assembly. Conspicuously absent from this conversation is the principal judicial organ of the Un…
The Failure of the International Community to Apply R2P and Atrocity Prevention in Myanmar
The case of Myanmar has become one of the most glaring examples for the failure of the international community to realise the promise made with the adoption of the responsibility to protect (R2P) norm in 2005: ‘Never again’ has turned into again and again. A mix of unwillingness and inability to prevent atrocity crimes has in Myanmar over the past ten years led to several instances of atrocity crimes and genocidal violence against the Rohingya. M…
Never again? The role of the global network of R2P focal points in preventing atrocity crimes
The Nuremberg judgement famously held that crimes against international law are committed by men, not by abstract entities – but who, then, is to prevent these crimes? In 2005, all UN Member States agreed that it was their responsibility to protect populations against atrocity crimes (short R2P). In 2010, the idea was born to appoint senior government officials to act as individual R2P Focal Points to help implement this historic pledge. This art…
How do wars end? A multidisciplinary enquiry
The cessation of military confrontations rarely coincides with the end of war. Legal and political matters continue after the last shot has been fired, civilians driven from their homes try to rebuild their houses and their lives, veterans need to adapt to their new role in civil society, and the struggle to define the history and the significance of past events only begins. In recent years, in particular, the changes in the character of contempo…
Implementing the Responsibility to Protect: A Future Agenda
This book examines core thematic approaches to the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and analyses case studies regarding the implementation of this important global norm. The volume analyses this process at international, regional and local levels, and identifies an urgent need to progress from conceptual debates towards implementation in practice, in order to understand how to operationalise the preventive dimension of the R2P. It argues that R2P …
