THE EVOLUTION OF THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT ...

This book provides a discussion of the main events and arguments that have influenced the
debate around the R2P and the principles evolution  namely  the war on terror and the 2003 war
in Iraq  the crisis in Darfur  and lastly  the U.N. Security Council buy-in regarding the ICISS
articulated criteria to guide the use of military force in humanitarian intervention. A central
theme underlying this book is the claim that the international system is experiencing a change
in the writers authors of the rules of the system. The argument is built upon the
abovementioned main factors that influence the R2Ps evolution as evidence the central assertion
being that the war in Iraq has weakened the moral standing of the U.S. and the U.K.  and has
negative impact on the credibility of these states as norm carriers. This has not only
diminished their ability to build consensus on and commitment to the R2P  but has also
engendered widespread hostility and suspicion towards the principle.
