The Responsibility to Protect at a Crossroads

In 2025, a new – and for the first time in the history of the journal, all female – editorial team has taken the lead of Global Responsibility to Protect (GP2P). We would first like to commend the outgoing editorial team – Adrian Gallagher, Charles Hunt, and Cecilia Jacob – for their outstanding work and contributions to the journal. Under their leadership, GP2P has published ground-breaking research on atrocity prevention and other cognate fields, leading to an increase in citations. It has also hosted key conversations between scholars and practitioners that bridged the gap between research and practice. We are deeply committed to maintaining and fostering GP2P's reputation as a leading journal on atrocity prevention, human rights, global governance, diplomacy, humanitarianism, the ethics and law of armed conflict, peacekeeping, transitional justice, and accountability
