Description

This is the report of the Secretary-General on Implementing the Responsibility to Protect. The present report takes stock of 10 years of efforts to advance the responsibility to protect. It reaffirms the enduring relevance of the principle, both as an expression of political commitment and as a guide for action to prevent and halt genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. It also outlines the consensus that has developed on the three-pillar framework for implementation established in 2009 (see A/63/677) and elaborated through annual dialogues in the General Assembly.
