Panel Intervention and Responsibility to Protect Working Group

Description

The implementation of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is dependent on the will and the behaviour of states. On the one hand, norm entrepreneurs and antipreneurs of R2P highly impact its implementation under the framework of the United Nations (UN). On the other hand, how R2P considerations affect states' domestic and foreign policy decisions is also an important and complementary aspect in the implementation of R2P. In this vein, this IR2PWG panel investigates the foreign policy and state practices aspects of R2P.
