Abstract

The doctrine of the responsibility to protect (RtoP) the civilian population against genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity was established in paragraphs 138 and 139 of the “Outcome Document” of the 2005 World Summit, which was held in New York between September 14 and 16, 2005. It was reaffirmed in April 2006 by the UN Security Council through Resolution 1674. This doctrine—RtoP—consists in not recognizing national sovereignty as a right, but as a responsibility to prevent and deter four crimes—genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing—under the generic term Mass Atrocity Crimes.
