Responsibility to Protect Doctrine: An Effort to Confront Human Disasters
Author(s):
Abstract:
There have been always controversies and difference between advocates and opponents of the necessity and legitimacy of military intervention aimed at protecting human lives. These differences led the UN General Assembly and Secretary General in 2000 to demand the international community to find a solution for this challenge. In response to this demand "responsibility to protect doctrine" was advanced and admitted by world leaders at a Summit Conference in 2005. But, what is the nature of "responsibility to protect"? What are the commitments made by the international community, especially the Security Council to implement this doctrine? And how is it possible to resort to this doctrine when the Security Council is proved to be inefficient? In fact, "responsibility to protect" is a commitment to protect human lives against crimes such as "genocide", "war crimes", "crimes against humanity" and "ethnic cleansing". It can be implemented along three dimensions of "prevention", "reaction", and "reconstruction". This is the duty of sovereign states and in case of its failure the responsibility of the international community.
