A recording of a recent research seminar on “The Responsibility to Protect Ten Years on From the World Summit” by Dr Adrian Gallagher is now available to listen to on UoL’s Department of Politics SoundCloud website: https://soundcloud.com/user856379634. An overview of the meaning and history of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is given, before discussion of (often unrealistic) expectations of what R2P can offer.
