Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect
This project seeks to advance the implementation of the principle of R2P by elaborating on how one of its key elements – prevention – can be operationalized in international society.Deltakere
The project is led by Professor Jennifer Welsh and Dr Serena Sharma at the University of Oxford. Nupi is one of the partners to the project, represented by Eli Stamnes (on leave) and Walter Lotze. Read more about the project and the partners here.
Objectives
The project has four main aims:
• To develop an overall framework for understanding the prevention of mass atrocities, organized broadly around the categories of ‘ad hoc’ and ‘systemic’ approaches;
• To analyze and synthesize the 'best practice' on prevention from other contexts, and build this evidence base into the strategic framework;
• To demonstrate how prevention works in relation to the other components of R2P; and
• To highlight possible barriers to the successful implementation of prevention, and how they might be overcome.
