The Responsibility to Protect in Syria: Is there a place for regime change?

Abdullah Yusuf (Lead / Corresponding author), Eilidh Garvey

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

The dilemma facing the international community and the R2P doctrine today: is regime change required in order to successfully protect Syrians and bring peace and security to the state? Yet, one would hope that - if the R2P intervention/regime change formula is simply to stabilise dangerous situations and prevent their escalation by principally humanitarian motives – then the international community would likely cheer and offer support for the move.
