This book ambitiously weaves together history and politics to explain
all of the major situations where mass atrocities have occurred, or
been prevented, over the 15 years since the 'Responsibility to
Protect' (R2P) was adopted at the 2005 UN World Summit. The author
provides a history of human rights, mass atrocities and the principle
of the R2P from the perspective of someone whose day job has been to
work with the UN Security Council, various governments and civil
society to help ensure the international community does not fail those
who face the threat of genocide, war crimes and crimes against
humanity today. It examines the implementation of the controversial
principle of R2P since 2011 and how we end the politics of impunity,
indifference and inaction once and for all. Using case studies from
Iraq, Syria, Myanmar and Libya, the book offers a unique perspective
regarding how we make 'never again' a living principle, rather than a
cliché and how we end the politics of impunity, indifference and
inaction once and for all. It will be of especial interest to
scholars, students and policymakers working in the fields of
international politics or concerned about human rights, atrocities,
the United Nations and international justice in the world today.
