Asia-Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect

The Asia-Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (R2P Centre) is an organization focused on promoting the principle that governments must protect their own populations from mass atrocities, such as genocide and war crimes. If they fail, the international community should step in to help. Based in Australia, the Centre works to educate, advocate, and support countries in implementing these responsibilities. It brings together policymakers, scholars, and practitioners to discuss strategies to prevent violence and promote human rights across the Asia-Pacific region, highlighting the importance of collective international action in times of crisis.
