Abstract [en]

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses the responsibility to protect civilians and prevent humanitarian catastrophes from happening by discussing the capabilities and abilities of international organizations to address responsibility to protect (R2P). The UN General Assembly (UNGA) and the UN Security Council (UNSC) have endorsed the legal and moral obligations of the international community to safeguard civilians from genocide and atrocities. UN member-states and regional organizations are, according to the UN Charter, required to protect and promote universal human rights and in 2005, the UN World Summit approved R2P. The International Commission on Intervention and States Sovereignty (ICISS) explicitly stressed the responsibility of the international community to safeguard human security within states that were unwilling or failed to provide security for their people. Such international obligation was not only linked to individual states, but also other legal bodies in international, regional and non-governmental organizations.
