  1. “Soon you will be liberated“ (Israelis to Iranians on Insta). When the #Myanmar military attempted a coup in 2021 and killed their protesting citizens, there was outcry for #UN #R2P #BlueHelmets and other nations coming to help the people. No one came. Apparently, not all deserve to be liberated?

  2. The Iranian diaspora have a website for lobbying in favour of UN Chapter VII #R2P [3].

    Iranian public opinion through to Sep 2025 [4].

  3. #NemaMilaninia on #ResponsibilityToProtect [1] and the impending US+IL attack on Iran: "If lawful responses amount primarily to documentation and delayed accountability, confidence in legal restraint itself may gradually erode. ... The challenge... may not be choosing between law and protection, but confronting whether the present balance between them remains tenable in the face of mass atrocity." [2]

    I'm a huge proponent for #R2P. But I don't see the case?

    Like, literally there's no case in The Hague. No transition plan. No protection plan for the population. Nothing. All we have is a kidnapping - decided by a single person who claims oil as the motivation.

    Yes. Maduro is a dictator, and UN orgs report crimes against humanity by his national guard.

    But even in the 1990s, that wasn't the bar for military R2P intervention.

  5. The International Day of Commemoration of Genocide Victims reminds the world why 9 December matters. It marks the Genocide Convention of 1948 and honours millions who were killed because hatred went unchecked.

    Ten years into this observance, the UN’s 2025 resolution warns that genocide risks still persist. Every State has a duty to prevent incitement, punish perpetrators, and protect its people.

  10. Hva om en koalisjon av villige stater satte opp en luftbro til Gaza og gjennomførte noe tilsvarende som i Berlin 1948-1949? Eventuell motstand mot noe sånt kan møtes med makt, tenker jeg. Situasjonen for sivile i Gaza nå er åpenbart verre enn situasjonen i Benghazi i 2011. FN-resolusjon er ikke nødvendig. Beskyttelsen av sivile i Kosovo i 1999 startet uten FN-mandat. #Norsktut #Gaza #Palestina #r2p

  11. Quoting Yagil Levy on why the West won't intervene in Gaza despite "Right to Protect" norm:

    [...] No one in the West would even consider this, as Israel enjoys U.S. protection and is still perceived as part of the West, a segment of the Iron Curtain against the Muslim world, and one worthy of sympathy due to the trauma of October 7th which evokes the memory of the Holocaust. Western nations will continue to watch the starvation, destruction, killing, and displacement, as well as the infants buried in Gaza who also take with them Israel's moral identity.

    The "Responsibility to Protect" principle, established by the UN in 2005, mandates international action when governments fail to protect populations from mass atrocities. Despite catastrophic conditions in Gaza with at least 30,000 [?] dead and 2 million displaced—far exceeding the Kosovo crisis that prompted NATO intervention—the West won't intervene.

    Unlike Kosovo, where NATO bypassed the UN to prevent ethnic cleansing, the US vetoes moderate UN resolutions on Gaza. Israel enjoys US protection, alliances that prevent international intervention persist, and historical trauma influences global perception.

    "Responsibility to Protect" (#R2P) is a global political commitment endorsed by all UN member states in 2005. It asserts that:

    1. Every state has the primary duty to protect its population from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity.

    2. If a state fails to fulfill this duty, the international community has a responsibility to help protect civilians through peaceful means (e.g., diplomacy, aid).

    3. If peaceful measures fail, the UN Security Council may authorize decisive action—including the use of force—as a last resort, to prevent mass atrocities.

  12. @nando161

    2005 UN GA established Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle, which is a doctrine that asserts that states have a responsibility to protect their own populations from international criminal offences, like genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

    And under R2P, if a nation is failing its obligation to protect its own populace in this regard, then the broader global community has a responsibility to step in and save innocent people under attack.

    "Dato il fallimento delle parti in #guerra (si combatte dal 15 aporile4 dello scorso anno) nel risparmiare i #civili, è imperativo che una forza indipendente e imparziale con un mandato per salvaguardare i civili venga schierata senza indugio", ha detto Mohamed Chande #Othman, presidente della Missione di accertamento dei fatti, istituita dal Consiglio #Onu dei Diritti umani.

    #Mattarella sul disastro ambientale di Taranto e sul dovere di proteggere la popolazione non si è pronunciato e ha anzi firmato l’ultimo provvedimento che rafforza l’immunità penale per i gestori dello stabilimento siderurgico.

  16. #R2P
    La responsabilità di proteggere
    Essa si fonda su una nuova visione della sovranità dello Stato intesa come "responsabilità di proteggere" i propri cittadini dalle più gravi violazioni dei diritti umani e che qualora tale protezione non sia assicurata dallo Stato interessato, la comunità internazionale può reagire adottando una serie di misure, da quelle pacifiche a quelle coercitive fino all’uso della forza armata.

  17. La responsabilità di proteggere (in inglese responsibility to protect, #R2P o anche #RtoP) è una dottrina di diritto internazionale umanitario emersa per la prima volta nel rapporto della Commissione sull’Intervento e sulla Sovranità dello Stato (International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty, #ICISS) del 2001.

  18. “Violence does not start when physical attacks are launched. Violence often starts with words. Words of hatred spread intolerance, divide societies, promote and endorse discrimination and incite violence."

    - Alice Nderitu, United Nations Special Adviser of the Secretary on the Prevention of Genocide.

  19. "The Rwandan genocide is 1 of 2 events in the 1990s that prodded a guilt-ridden world to pledge never again to stand aside & allow mass atrocities. The other was the massacre by Bosnian Serbs of thousands of Muslim men & boys in Srebrenica the following year. In 2005 the UN General Assembly adopted the principle that all countries have a “responsibility to protect” (R2P) people from genocide and war crimes, by force if necessary."

  21. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is proof the EU needs to get better at stopping mass atrocities | @TheConversationUK

    theconversation.com/russias-in

    "(...) Many (...) minimised long-standing Russian rhetoric that denied Ukrainian statehood and national identity. If policymakers had used a “mass atrocity lens”, then they would have seen that a war of aggression was not only plausible but was likely to be accompanied by mass atrocities. (...)"

    Thx Ben!
    I agree, IF you are looking to define X in order to regulate. To regulate something that also has a societal component, wide consensus is needed for norm adoption. The term can be fuzzy enough for it to resonate broadly & measures are embedded within a larger framework for implementation. Norm robustness is ensured when the scope of the norm is narrow. Eg. #R2P Edward Luck's “narrow but deep approach” @Sina @stilldelvingh @potemkinvillage @wendysiegelman

  23. CW: Feminist Security Scholars - A #FemSecSt group

    Launched by Drs. Wibben & Mathers in Oct. 2012, #FemSecSt was a hashtag on Twitter that I found incredibly helpful for my research on feminist epistemic communities and the #R2P norm.

    On #Mastodon I'm discovering the "group" feature and thought this might be great to (re)connect with Feminist Security scholars & content: @femsecst

    Not sure if this is how it works, but giving it a try.

    Feel free to follow, tag and # #FemSecSt & please boost 🙏

  24. Okay, looks like it's customary to do an #introduction post!

    I am an #NGO comms professional by day that works with an org focused on #RefugeeLed #soccer and early childhood education programs.

    Outside of work, I'm an admitted coffee snob, I'm attempting to write my first #YA novel, and I'm a huge #NWSL and #USWNT fan. (I have split allegiances between the #Thorns and #GothamFC)
