In 2001 The International Commisssion on Intervention and State Sovereignty argued that when nations fail to protect their citizens from large scale violence and genocide, the international community should take on that "responsibility to protect". This book considers whether and how that high-minded ideal can be put into practice. Considers what is actually involved, who might carry out such interventions and what mandates, rules of engagement, doctrine and training would be necessary to enable forces to perform such missions.
