Abstract
In the Foreword, the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS 2001a, p. vii) indicates that its ‘report is about the so-called “right of humanitarian intervention”: the question of when, if ever, it is appropriate for states to take coercive—and in particular military—action against another state for the purpose of protecting people at risk in that other state’. Therefore, prior to tracing R2P’s evolution in the institutional framework of the UN, it is important to identify the relationship between humanitarian intervention and the responsibility to protect to have a full understanding of the two notions and of the essence of the Report of the ICISS.
