Open seminar: The Responsibilty to Protect - 
Genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity

Monday 28th april, 13:00-15:00, Litteraturhuset, Wergelandsveien 29, Oslo

In 2005, world leaders reaffirmed that states have the primary responsibility to protect their own populations, but that the international community must act when these governments fail.

Is the international community willing to take the necessary action to protect civilians, through peaceful, preventive action, but also, in exceptional cases, through the use of force?

Does the “Responsibility to protect” principle challenge or complement existing international law?
