This book illuminates the way in which measures of intercession, inspired by the ideals of Responsibility to Protect (R2P), have provided a solution to the dilemma of articulating when and how the international community may respond to atrocity crimes occurring in other States.

Despite repeated declarations of ‘never again’ in response to the commission of atrocities, civilians have continued to be targeted by their leaders and opposition groups. The international law principles of sovereignty and non-intervention, when taken at their highest, require States to stand idle and not intervene in another State regardless of what atrocities may be occurring there. This traditional legal view is being challenged by an emerging practice of States choosing to respond in non-forceful ways, inspired by the concept of the Responsibility to Protect. Drawing on Responsibility to Protect (R2P), this book introduces and develops an original conceptual tool – intercession – to capture and explain this change in State practice and the impact of R2P on the development of international law. Through a close examination of State practice, the work explores whether there has been an expansion in the permissible measures and situations in which States can intervene, without using force, in response to atrocity crimes occurring in other States. This book concludes that the development of the secondary duty on the international community under R2P provides the greatest opportunity to progress the R2P framework in a meaningful way, which will have a significant impact on the protection of populations from atrocity crimes. The book will be essential reading for students, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of International Law, International Relations, Humanitarian Law, and Peace and Security Studies.

Arvustused

'Atrocity Crimes and International Law is an excellent work which is of relevance to international law, international relations, humanitarian law, and peace and security studies, offering a logical and clear argument, and supported by appropriate and persuasive case studies. The book offers insights into the emerging behaviours of States in a vital area. Henderson examines State practice in response to atrocity crimes through the prism of intercession, revealing the power of ideas to prompt change in international law and inform the advancement of the R2P framework in a meaningful way, while also powerfully countering those who continue to challenge the existence of the concept.'
