This book will consider a rapidly emerging guiding general principle in international relations and, arguably, in international law: the Responsibility to Protect. The discussion surrounding aggravated state responsibility is also explored, with the author concluding that this emerging norm within international law is closely related to the responsibility to protect in its imposition of an international responsibility to act in response to an international wrong.
