Panel Intervention and Responsibility to Protect Working Group

Description

This panel focuses on evolving state practice when it comes to the challenge of responding to mass atrocity crimes and attempting to hold those accountable for such violations. It draws together several case studies and examples, including the foreign policy approach of the UK, the international response to transnational justice efforts in the Central African Republic and the consequences of the Ukraine conflict for the future of state support for the R2P norm.
