La comunità internazionale e la responsabilità di proteggere

Synopsis of La comunità internazionale e la responsabilità di proteggere

This book, written by Richard Dwomoh, analyzes the doctrine of the "responsibility to protect" (R2P) and its application by the international community in the face of grave atrocities. Through a detailed examination, the author explores how this secondary responsibility manifests in situations where sovereign states are unable or unwilling to intervene, using the conflicts in Libya and Syria as case studies.

The work delves into the differences in the international response to both conflicts, contrasting the authorized intervention in Libya through a no-fly zone with the lack of effective action in the Syrian crisis. It is an essential read for understanding the political, legal, and ethical challenges faced by the global community when attempting to balance state sovereignty with the protection of fundamental human rights.
