Building support amongst policy makers for the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and its implementation lies at the core of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect’s advocacy efforts. Central to that work is engagement with United Nations member states through their missions in New York, their missions in Geneva and their governments in capital, as well as with the UN system more broadly.
This work includes educating policy makers, addressing misconceptions and advancing conceptual clarity and guidance for states about the norm and its implementation. The Global Centre does this through holding bilateral meetings, workshops and events for member state representatives and through our publications which provide policy-relevant research and strategic guidance on cross-cutting issues, as well as on situations where populations are at risk of mass atrocity crimes. This also includes working closely to support the work of the UN Joint Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect.
The Global Centre conducts advocacy with UN member states through three main institutions:
