The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) Conference

Prevention and intervention in response to mass atrocity crimes

The purpose of this conference is to explain the parameters of this new principle of international law and political practice, to address the practicalities and problems of its implementation, to consider its potential application in the Asia-Pacific region, and to tackle again the vexed question of military intervention for humanitarian purposes.

The conference will be opened by Gareth Evans AO, QC, formerly President of the International Crisis Group, and will include a presentation by Professor Ramesh Thakur, formerly Rector of the United Nations University.
