Routledge - International Organizations and the R2P in Syria

This academic volume by Routledge examines the obligation of the international community to implement the principles of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). By focusing on the humanitarian crisis in Syria, the text provides a deep look into the formal responsibility and actual capability of international institutions to protect and prevent civilians from systematic mass atrocities. Readers will find a detailed analysis of several prominent international organizations (IOs). Each chapter is dedicated to a specific organization, exploring their formal responsibilities and how these duties relate to the obligations of R2P. This book is an essential resource for understanding the practical application of international law and the effectiveness of global institutions in responding to large-scale human rights crises.
