At the 2005 World Summit, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine emerged as a formalized and multilateral way for states to protect populations under the threat of war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide. While it should be regarded as a preventative doctrine, it has been weaponized and usurped from its founding principles. In this regard, R2P's main faults lay in the implementation phase, and this podcast will discuss these dynamics and to what extent the R2P doctrine should be rethought.

Donald Trump's first term, from 2016 to 2020, marked a historic departure from the post-Second World War bipartisan consensus. His ‘America First’ approach introduced a transactional view of international relations that continues to shape the current political landscape.
