RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT IN THEORY AND PRACTICE CONFERENCE

A series of biannual international interdisciplinary scientific conferences on R2P devoted exclusively to the concept of Responsibility to Protect (R2P/RtoP) in this part of the world, with the objective to create an opportunity for scholars and practitioners to engage in an interdisciplinary academic debate on the theoretical and practical implications of the concept of Responsibility to Protect (R2P). The conferences are organized as a forum where international experts and researchers have the opportunity to participate in a discourse on issues related to R2P and the applicability of the concept in practice.

This year the conference will be hosted outside its home venue by the International Justice and Human Rights Unit, Edge Hill University, bringing together colleagues from the University of Ljubljana, the European Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (ECR2P), and the British International Studies Association’s Working Group on Intervention and the Responsibility to Protect for a special 20-year anniversary event.
