Responsibility to protect (R2P)
Responsibility to protect (R2P) : The doctrine that neither individual states nor the international community can stand idly by while large-scale violations of human rights occur. According to R2P, states, individually and collectively, have a duty to undertake some form of preventative or ameliorative action. R2P was given its most important formulation in 2001 by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty chaired by Gareth Evans and Mohamed Sahnoun.
