Abstract
While the burgeoning responsibility to protect (RTP) doctrine is gaining legitimacy in the international arena, the doctrine is receiving contradicting criticisms. For the RTP to be effectively implemented, these criticisms need to be addressed and reconciled. This paper aims to do this by reading the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty report on the RTP using a Foucauldian analysis. Such an analysis will demonstrate that the Commission crafted the doctrine in accordance with how power operates in contemporary Western society. The implication of this reading is that the Commission's RTP doctrine makes (non-Western) human lives political.
