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 2007 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.

POPULATION IN FOCUS
United Nations (UN) member states must uphold their 2005 commitment to the responsibility to protect and take immediate action to protect populations from crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing in Kyrgyzstan. The violence since June 10th has seen echoes of the very atrocities that gave rise to the rallying cry of “never again” in the wake of the Holocaust, Bosnia, and Rwanda: images of burnt corpses, destroyed homes, and hundreds of thousands of people driven from their homes, many stuck at a closed border. While a tenuous calm currently prevails, the risk of imminent atrocities remains. There is no excuse for inaction. Failure to act will cost more lives.
