Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

R2P is an emergent norm that was introduced in 2005 and is still considered controversial as it has been interpreted and implemented differently by different countries and actors. Option A is false as Russia has used R2P in its justification for intervention in Syria. Option B is an exaggeration since there have been fewer humanitarian interventions under R2P than a dozen since 2005. Option C is also incorrect as both Russia and China have been critical of R2P, and they perceive it as a violation of state sovereignty. Option D is also false as the UN has endorsed R2P repeatedly, and it has been included in the official UN charter.
