การส่งเสริมแนวคิดเรื่องความรับผิดชอบในการปกป้อง (RtoP) โดยภาคประชาสังคมระหว่างประเทศ : ศึกษากรณีแนวร่วมระหว่างประเทศ เพื่อความรับผิดชอบในการปกป้อง (ICRtoP) / ฝันหยก บุญสวยขวัญ = The role of international civil societies in the promotion of the responsibility to protect concept : a case study of international coalition for responsibility to protect / Fanyok Boonsuaykwan
The purpose of this study is to examine the role of International Coalition for Responsibility to Protect (ICRtoP) in promoting the concept of the Responsibility to Protect (RtoP). The humanitarian crisis in Myanmar caused by Cyclone Nargis in 2008 and the interactive dialogue in the United Nations General Assembly following the Report of Secretary-General entitled “Implementing the Responsibility to Protect” in 2009 are two case studies to illustrate the point. The study shows that ICRtoP plays a crucial role in promoting the awareness of RtoP as well as in making the concept more acceptable and acknowledged in the international fora. This has been achieved through various activities including organizing seminars, conducting press conferences, disseminating the information and fact on RtoP or RtoP related situations through different channels, together with submitting letters to governments. These efforts have not only enhanced greater awareness and understanding of governments and other actors concerning the existence of RtoP, but have also help making RtoP gain increasing and solid support from key actors, particularly states that were once concerned about the utility of RtoP. This would undoubtedly contribute to the implementation of RtoP in the future.
