For too long, the world has stood by in the face of atrocities. The Responsibility to Protect is a commitment to act.
The Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect was created in February 2008 to catalyze action to move the 2005 World Summit agreement on the responsibility to protect populations from genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes and crimes against humanity from principle into practice.
