At the UN’s 60th Anniversary World Summit in 2005, one hundred and fifty world leaders made an historic decision: to embrace The Responsibility to Protect (R2P) vulnerable populations outside their own states from genocide and other mass atrocities.

This conference seeks to provide a forum to conceptualize the normative legal and political content of R2P; to examine the R2P framework against identity-based atrocities including ethnic conflict and genocide and to address the political and operational challenges to the implementation of R2P.

Presented by
The Program in Holocaust and Human Rights Studies Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and The Department of Political Science, Yeshiva University, with generous support from Humanity United & The Rick and Darian Swig Philanthropic Fund

16 CLE Credits will be offered.

Please RSVP by March 7, 2008:
