Global Responsibility to Protect (GR2P) seeks to publish the best and latest research on atrocity prevention and human protection, human rights, global governance, diplomacy, the ethics and law of armed conflict, and humanitarianism. GR2P serves as a repository for lessons learned and analysis of best practices on the prevention of armed conflict, genocide and mass atrocities, and human protection. As the premier journal for the study and practice of the responsibility to protect (R2P), the journal promotes a universal understanding of the principle and efforts to realise it while encouraging critical debate and diversity of opinion. This includes research on the development of cognate norms in global politics, their operationalisation/implementation through the work of governments, international and regional organisations and NGOs.
