2001 yılında ICISS’in raporunu yayınlamasının ardından, 2005 yılında “Koruma Sorumluluğu”nun
Following the report of the ICISS in 2001, unanimous adoption of the concept of the responsibility
to protect (R2P) in 2005 marked the milestone of a common understanding for responding to mass
atrocities. In light of the transformations that R2P has gone through, while some in the mounting
literature have been arguing that R2P is a developing legal norm, others have grown more critical
of the concept. In the absence of a consensus regarding R2P’s status, this article contributes to
the literature by arguing that, rather than remaining a slogan or becoming a legal norm, R2P has
evolved into an international ethical norm which constitutes a standard for appropriate behaviour for
states individually and for the international community collectively. To this end, by distinguishing
between the stages of the norm’s construction and institutionalisation, the article traces R2P’s
evolution process and presents an up-to-date analysis in light of the most recent cases as well as the
documents adopted within the UN.
