Humanitarian Intervantion: The Principle of Responsibility to Protect (R2P)
Abstract: This article
describes the notion of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) as a branch of
humanitarian intervention. This approach emerges to immediately respond
atrocities of innocent people due to political persecution taking place in a
state. R2P allows external power in the form of the military operation to
prevent casualties of citizen. The opponents of R2P argue that it contradicts
with the non-intervention principle based on state-sovereignty. However, the
proponents of this approach believe that human security and rights should be
beyond of state. It is assumed that R2P remains relevant to completely stop
either state violation over its citizen or armed conflict within civil war. The
discussion of this paper therefore compress the notion of Humanitarian
Intervention and the grounds of Humanitarian Intervention, which concerns
mainly on the debate the Responsibility to Protect of what is nature of this
approach, of who are authorized actors in charge as well as of how it should be
implemented.
