The responsibility to protect in Libya: From Ideals to Implementation Failures

Key Points

The study identifies significant failures in the implementation of the responsibility to protect (R2P) doctrine in Libya, addressing both local and global implications.
By examining the conceptual framework of R2P, it reveals that the promising ideals were hindered by practical challenges during implementation.
The context in Libya serves as a critical case study for understanding the complexities of applying R2P in real-world situations involving mass atrocities.
The findings may prompt a reevaluation of R2P's effectiveness and the need for improved strategies to prevent mass atrocities in similar contexts.

Abstract

This paper aims to study the impact of the Libyan application of the R2P on the doctrine. It claims that the promising conceptual framework of the responsibility to protect was confronted to a double factual failure: once in the implementation of the principle in Libya, and then once again while failing to prevent mass atrocities in similar situations. The study will analyze firstly the conceptual framework, in order to highlight its promising nature and will compare it in a second section with its practical implementation.
