The Failure of International Community to Implement Responsibility to Protect in Darfur

Abstract

This article wants to explore the implementation of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P)as a binding international norm in Darfur, Sudan. The R2P commands every state to protect its citizen from any violation of human right, and if the state is unable or unwilling to do so, then the international community should take action of intervention. Darfur is a test case of whether states have adopted the norm or state’s interest is still privileged over the norm. This article argues that R2P has not been adopted in Darfur due to the failure of the international community to prevent conflict while there was a great opportunity to prevent the conflict to escalate. Prevention is the core tenet of the R2P. In addition, national interests are great obstacles to enforce the norm in practice.
