description 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.
