| dc.description.abstract | The Responsibility to Protect (R2P), an international norm established in 2005 by the United Nations, stipulates conditions under which the United Nations should intervene in defense of victims of mass atrocities in a member state. R2P’s goal is to define the best attitude to adopt when the world is confronted to grave humanitarian crises. Within R2P, each state carries the primary responsibility to protect its citizens. The international society carries a collective duty to solve a humanitarian crisis when a state has failed to fulfil this responsibility. The concept R2P implies a series of conditions whose purpose is to grant legitimacy and effectiveness to an international intervention aimed at solving a humanitarian crisis. The Syrian conflict constitutes an evident case where the international society failed to fulfil its responsibility to protect. The people in Syria are suffering from mass atrocities and their consequences are left on their own, because the international society is being unable to respond collectively. These thesis examines how the conditions towards R2P were addressed in the cases of Syria and how those actions should be incorporated in the eyes of international law to stop the violence against the Syrian people. | en_US |
