商品簡介
Davies and Glanville (Griffith Asia Institute and Centre for Governance and Public Policy, Griffith U., Australia) collect eight essays by Australian, UK, and American scholars who examine difficulties in states and the international community fulfilling the responsibility to protect (R2P) vulnerable people. The R2P concept calls on states to recognize the rights of these persons to humanitarian assistance, and their obligations to protect them. The contributors here consider how to implement it, whether a broader application is needed, and its history and progress. They discuss who should be protected; challenges like its definition, cases of natural disasters, and alignment with the guiding principles on internal displacement; the term "responsibility"; who, what, when, and where the responsibility to protect exists; and the role of the international community.
