This book, intended as a spin off of the journal GR2P (vol. 8/2-3, 2016) and enriched with totally new chapters and revised contents, examines how norms concerning human rights, civilian protection and prevention of mass atrocities have been realised and institutionalised differently across the regions of Southeast Asia and Africa.
