The term "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P) refers to the global commitment endorsed by all member states of the United Nations at the 2005 World Summit to prevent genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. It emphasizes the responsibility of states to protect their populations from these crimes and the responsibility of the international community to assist states in doing so. If a state is manifestly failing to protect its population, the international community has a responsibility to intervene through coercive measures such as military intervention as a last resort.
