Abstract

The concept of Responsibility to Protect has dominated the debate of humanitarian intervention since it was itself created in 2001 with the report of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS). This is an idea that, even though shared by the International Community in general in the sense that it is necessary to ensure the right of life and integrity of people as the ultimate purpose of the universal system of protection of human rights, it has a considerable amount of criticism. It may generate a feeling of distrust, mainly in the weak and unstable countries due to the fact that R2P can transform in a “Troyan Horse” to be used by the powerful countries to inter- vene the former as they please and by doing so, obtain benefits non sanctos.

This is why it is extremely important to set up a system with clear rules that, on the one side, assure the protection of fundamental human rights of every single human being without paying attention to nationalities and, on the other, set a clear limit for the execution of interventions so as to prevent abuses from the powerful.
