Asia-Pacific Centre for R2P

The Asia-Pacific Centre for Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is an organization focused on preventing mass atrocities and protecting human rights in the Asia-Pacific region. It promotes the R2P principle, which asserts that countries have a duty to protect their populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. The Centre conducts research, provides training, and fosters collaboration among governments, civil society, and international organizations to strengthen the commitment to preventing such atrocities and responding effectively when they occur. Its aim is to enhance knowledge and capacity to protect vulnerable populations across the region.
