商品簡介
Considerable debate surrounds the United Nations directive that officials of recognized national governments take responsibility to protect their subjects or citizens from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. Strauss, who seems to work for the United Nations Secretariat, sets out the arguments that the measure only duplicates others, that it only justifies rich countries further meddling in the affairs of the poor, and other views. He concludes by proposing elements for an immediate strategy by which the Secretary General, along with relevant United Nations department funds and agencies, can facilitate the responsibility to protect in practice in the immediate future.
