Abstract

With the development of the international community, the development and progress of international human rights law become more mature and complete. The international society cannot ignore the lower-level conflict and need to face the dilemma of intervention. According to historical experience, military intervention will cause big controversy without eliminating the roots of conflict. Therefore, the concept of “R2P” was introduced by “Intervention and State Sovereignty International Committee” in 2001. The main idea of “R2P” is that the sovereign state and ineternational society have responsibility to protect people’s lives and well-being, and to help them promoting their human right. According to the principle of R2P, the United Nation Security Council, in order to protect Libyans from their government, adopted Resolution 1973 on 17 March 2011, setting up a no-fly zone in Libya. Having turned from concept into practice, R2P provided the Coalition with the legitimate authorisation to intervene. This thesis aims to realize the R2P principle and its development, while using case study to view the practice of the concept of R2P to evaluate the military intervention in Libyan. In the conclusion this article will disscuss the political impact of Libyan civil war on the development of R2P.
