About this book

As the RtoP moves from norm to operationalization, greater analysis of action to halt crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide and ethnic cleansing is needed. This uncovers opportunities and challenges associated with third pillar interventions by looking at legal, economic, political, military and alternative interventions in third-countries.

Reviews

''As the world confronts an upsurge of atrocity crimes in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, there is an acute need for fresh thinking about 'timely and decisive responses to these crises - the third pillar of R2P. With sharp analysis covering a wide range of global perspectives, a keen sense of the difficult politics involved in protecting populations from atrocity crimes, and deep understanding of the range of relevant measures and actors, this book provides a clear-eyed assessment of the theory, practice and politics of R2P's 'third pillar'. Comprising rigorous empirical analysis and conceptual innovation, this is a book that will be welcomed by those who practice protection as well as those that study it.'' - Alex J. Bellamy, The University of Queensland, Australia
