Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine, focusing on its evolution, implementation, and challenges within the United Nations and international law. Articles analyze R2P's role in preventing and responding to mass atrocities, including genocide, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing. The scope includes the impact of geopolitical contestation, the instrumentalization of R2P by hegemonic powers, and the role of international criminal tribunals. It also explores R2P's normative development, its relationship with state sovereignty, and its application in specific case studies like Gaza and Ukraine.
