Sri Lanka And The Responsibility To Protect Politics Ethnicity And Genocide Damien Kingsbury by Damien Kingsbury instant download after payment.

This book provides a study of the war by Liberation Tigers of Tamil
Eelam (LTTE) to create a separate state in Sri Lanka. It examines the
ways in which this war should, in principle, have invoked
‘Responsibility to Protect’ principles, as well as the political, legal
and practical problems involved and, ultimately, why the international
community failed to act.

Over the years there have been several events, including those in
Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Timor-Leste, Darfur, and Kosovo, that have led the
international community to accept a responsibility to protect. However,
despite its overwhelming preliminary endorsement, the principles of
this concept are still not universally sanctioned and there are some
strong international opponents, including some countries that were
initial signatories of the convention.

By considering the example of Sri Lanka, the text focuses on what
conditions could satisfy or demand the application of responsibility to
protect. It further presents a case as to why this conflict was, and may
still be, the normative responsibility of the international community.

Sri Lanka and the Responsibility to Protect will be of great
interest to students of South-East Asian politics, human rights,
international law, ethnic conflict, security studies and IR in general.
