| Summary: | The concept of responsibility to protect is a modern concept in international
relations and international law. Its evolution started in 2001 within the
Project of the International Committee for the Intervention and State
Sovereignty. It was welcomed by the UN being elaborated and applied in
several occasions. In the paper, the author explores the concept of
responsibility to protect from two aspects. One aspect is a genesis of the
concept and its normative framework. The author presents all documents on the
R2P adopted by the UN General Assembly, UN Security Council, UN Secretary
General as well as the debates on the issue. The other is a critical and
analytical elaboration of the issue concerned. The analysis is contemplated
in terms of both theory of international relations and international public
Law. Its practical aspect is elaborated by using the Syrian crisis as an
example.
