The most interesting thing about the Responsibility to Protect report is the way its central theme has continued to gain traction internationally, even though it was almost suffocated at birth by being published in December 2001, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 and by the massive international preoccupation with terrorism, rather than internal human rights catastrophes, which then began. The concept was first seriously embraced in the doctrine of the newly emerging African Union,4 and over the next two to three years, it won quite a constituency among academic commentators and international lawyers (a not unimportant constituency, given that international law is the rather odd beast that it is—capable of evolving through practice and commentary as well as through formal treaty instruments).

And that’s a foreign policy, for the United States, as everywhere else, in which the new international norm of R2P can sit both comfortably and proudly. At the end of the day, the case for R2P rests simply on our common humanity: the impossibility of ignoring the cries of pain and distress of our fellow human beings. For any of us in the international community—from individuals to NGOs to national governments to international organizations— to yet again ignore that distress and agony, and to once again make “never again” a cry that rings totally emptily, is to diminish that common humanity to the point of despair.
