The Responsibility to Protect (Autumn - IA 021)

Course description

 

 

The seminar will address the ‘responsibility to protect’, as this concept is understood with reference to its adoption by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005, and with respect to the way in which it has been put into effect today. The emergence of the ”responsability to protect”, its content and its scope will be examined. The seminar will focus on the legal issues that arise through an examination of this concept, taking into account the evolution of certain legal notions, notably the evolution from humanitarian intervention to the ”responsibility to protect”. The seminar will analyse both the positive and problematic dimensions of these developments.
