Nordisk R2P-initiativ
HANA-forum som går av stabelen 28. august diskuterer hvordan prinsippet om Responsibility to Protect (R2P) skal implementeres, ikke bare i ord - men også handling. Et sentralt spørsmål er om prinsippet kan tas videre i forbindelse med FNs generalforsamlings 64 sesjon.
Hanaforum: Responsibility to Protect
"The unanimous endorsement of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) was hailed as one of the most important achievements of the 2005 High-level Plenary Meeting of the UN General Assembly, the World Summit. However, while the use of force, even for humanitarian reasons, against a sovereign state will remain controversial and contested, it is essential for the UN members to continue the discussion and promotion of the principles of R2P. It is only through persistent outreach and inclusive debate that we can move forward and make these principles acceptable to the international community not only in word, but also in action.
The aims of United Nations Associations and concerned stakeholders in the Nordic countries are, on one hand, to enhance the understanding and strengthen political will regarding the principles of R2P, and on the other hand, to create possibilities of taking the initiative further during the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly."
