Can R2P survive Libya and Syria?

14 Nov 2011

"The very first time the Canadian-inspired concept of 'Responsibility to Protect' was invoked by the UN Security Council was to support the no-fly zone in Libya. Ironically, it will be the events that subsequently transpired in Libya, together with corresponding inaction in Syria, which may put the future of R2P at risk. ... Canada has credibility on R2P and we should now work to ensure it survives. The original purpose: the desire--the responsibility--to prevent mass human tragedy remains."
