Preventive Human Rights
Strategies
Bertrand G. Ramcharan, City University of New
York, USA
’This book is a major
break-through in the human
rights literature. The human
rights call to action until
now has been for promotion
and protection. Henceforth it
will be for promotion,
prevention and protection.
The chapter on national
protection systems should be
implemented by every
country. It is of the greatest
importance.’ - Evance Kalula,
University of Cape Town, South Africa
’This book brings together in a superb and original
way the preventive human rights strategies in

Responsibility to Protect
Perspectives from the Global South
Rama Mani, Oxford University, UK and
Thomas G. Weiss, City University of New York, USA
This volume explores in a novel and challenging way the
emerging norm of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P),
initially adopted by the United Nations World Summit in
2005 following significant debate throughout the
preceding decade. It seeks to uncover whether this norm
and its founding values have resonance and grounding
within diverse cultures and within the experiences of
societies that have directly been torn apart by mass
atrocity crimes. The contributors to this collection
analyze the responsibility to protect through multiple
disciplines — philosophy, religion and spirituality,
anthropology, and aesthetics in addition to international
relations and law — to explore what light alternative
perspectives outside of political science and international
relations shed upon this emerging norm.
Selected Contents: Introduction: Reframing Responsibility:
Revisiting Politics and Place Rama Mani and Thomas G. Weiss
Part 1: Reflections in Practices, Cultures and Traditions
1. Religion and Spirituality: ’It Takes a Village to Protect a
Child,’ Spirituality and R2P Mutombo Nkulu-NSengha
