About this item
| Description: | NGOs and civil society actors around the world play an important role in implementing the promise of Responsibility to Protect. Whether advocating for accountability for atrocity crimes, lobbying national governments, promoting awareness of the principles of sovereignty as responsibility, or preserving the memory of victims, NGOs have been a key component of the vibrant civil society support for R2P. So given the particularly challenging environment that NGOs find themselves in during the pandemic and associated political developments, how can they adapt to these new circumstances? And what happens to the Responsibility to Protect if NGOs are less able to operate? What might NGOs do to ensure they are able to continue fulfilling this role? And what would be the consequences for suffering populations if the economic and political climate for humanitarian NGOs deteriorates further? |
