<br/><br/> The idea of the responsibility of the international community to protect people suffering in conflicts has rapidly gained acceptance, however this is rarely matched by the capacity or political will to intevene. "This book is about the need to override state sovereignty and rescue suffering civilians who live in a state that is unable or unwilling to protect and succour them" (author's introduction).
