Ralph, JG and Souter, J (2015) Is R2P a fully-fledged international norm? Politics and Governance, 3 (4). 68 - 71. ISSN 2183-2463
Abstract
This commentary examines whether R2P is a fully-fledged norm. As a normative aspiration R2P is almost universally accepted. However as a standard of behaviour that states implement as a matter of course R2P is far from fully-fledged. By examining state responses to refugee crises in Syria it is argued that powerful states are failing in their special responsibility to protect.
