The purpose of the meeting in Ljubljana was to promote the R2P concept by bringing together European national R2P Focal Points focusing on the European perspective. The meeting facilitated an important and ongoing dialogue between European governments, representatives of regional organizations and civil society. It also offered an important opportunity for exchanging best practices among the European national R2P Focal Points with respect to their roles, responsibilities and experiences in developing national institutional capacities and through cooperation on regional and international initiatives. The meeting explored the need and feasibility of a plan for common action in promoting the R2P concept in the future. This exchange of information will hopefully stimulate other states that have not already done so to designate their national R2P Focal Point.
