Reviews

Targeted at diplomats, scholars and activists alike, this wide-ranging volume more than lives up to its purposes...It is an unmatched contribution to the existing literature, comprehensive in scope and authoritative in content. It deserves to become the standard reference work on the subject.
*Ben Willis, Global Affairs*

The Oxford Handbook of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is a substantial work of scholarship. The editors have gathered together 53 articles that cover most aspects of this nascent political doctrine, across the spectrum from theory to practice. The collection will be of significant interest to politicians, diplomats, civil society actors and academics practising in the spheres of international law and international relations. At more than 1,000 pages, it is likely to become the initial comprehensive reference for anyone interested in a serious study of the prevention of mass atrocity crimes.
