East Dane Designer Men's Fashion. First, States accepted the responsibility to protect their own populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. Second, States promised to assist each other in fulfilling their domestic protection responsibilities. And third, the international community took on a collective responsibility to react, in a timely and decisive manner, if particular States are manifestly failing to protect their populations from the abovementioned mass atrocity crimes.
On ‘Responsibility to Protect: Cultural Perspectives in the Global South’
This critique has been repeatedly articulated by some states in international policy debates e. Noam Chomsky or David Chandler. However, rather than simply accepting the opinion of states and critical Western scholars as the point of reference, the edited book Responsibility to Protect: Cultural Perspectives in the Global South by Rama Mani and Tom Weiss addresses the important and so far under-researched question of what scholars and activists from the global south really think about the R2P principle and how the R2P implementation process can account for those southern concerns and insights.
The overarching question of the book therefore is: The book examines this question in two ways.
First, it provides three chapters on alternative approaches to R2P, namely religion, philosophy, and art; with a particular focus on southern versions of those three disciplines. Second, the book contains three case studies — on Rwanda, Kosovo and Nepal — written and researched by scholars from those countries and with first-hand experience of mass atrocities.

Giving scholars from the global south a voice in the R2P debate is a remarkable and important achievement in and of itself. The conceptual chapters then show that many values and ideas that are usually associated with R2P can be found within the religious and philosophical discourse in the global south. The chapter on religion argues, for example, that the cosmopolitan principles of common origin of humanity, equality of human beings, and universal solidarity can be found in all religious traditions.
Also, most religions argue that sovereigns and citizens have certain responsibilities that they must live up to, or otherwise they lose authority. In the chapter on philosophy it is stressed that philosophy can be used as a political tool against oppression, e. In short, the conceptual chapters emphasise that ideas of sovereign responsibilities, protection against life integrity violations, and resistance to oppression are well reflected in southern cultural traditions.
Moreover, the essays put forward some interesting ideas with regards to the prevention of mass atrocity crimes, which is now widely seen as the key constitutive element of R2P.
