To mark the 20th anniversary of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), this year we are featuring a special series of interviews with experts, practitioners, academics, civil society and human rights defenders who reflect on the conceptual and operational development of R2P over the past two decades, as well as the impact of R2P and atrocity prevention on their work.
In this episode, we sat down with Alexander Bellamy, Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies at The University of Queensland, Australia. During the episode, Alex shares insights from his extensive scholarship on R2P, including his collaboration with Edward Luck, the first UN Special Adviser on R2P. The conversation also explores the role of regional organizations in advancing R2P, the consequences of its uneven implementation and concludes with a message to the next generation of atrocity prevention scholars and practitioners.
