Abstract
From among the rather meagre results of the World Summit Outcome (WSO) which was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in September 2005 at the level of Heads of State and Government, the reaffirmation of the concept of the ?responsibility to protect' stands out as one of the major achievements in the field of human rights and the rule of law. This chapter deals with the following points: what have been the antecedents, the major milestones and the underlying principles of the process of the formulation and adoption of the concept of the RTP?; which kinds of events have been characterised as ?humanitarian interventions' in the past and how are they viewed and assessed by the international community and the doctrine of international law? Finally, the chapter presents prospects of the acceptance of the RTP as an emerging norm of international law. Keywords: humanitarian intervention; international commission; international community; international law; responsibility to protect (RTP)
