A aplicação do princípio da responsabilidade de proteger na Síria: limites e desafios

Abstract

The main objective of this monograph is to understand the limits and challenges faced by applying the Responsibility to Protect in the Syrian conflict by analyzing the reach and effectiveness of the measures taken to resolve the conflict and to protect the Syrian population against systematic violations of human rights. In order to do so, it is necessary to understand how the international community endorsed the principle, as it has been applied in conflicts that present crimes against humanity and others, as well as the challenges faced by the UN Security Council in applying the principle. It is also necessary to analyze the history of Syria to understand its ramifications and the difficulties to reach a peaceful solution to the conflict.
