Canada's Opportunity to Revitalize the Responsibility to Protect (R2P)

Twenty years after Canada spearheaded the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle, its effectiveness has been undermined by selective application and a lack of great power leadership, prompting a call for Canada to re-engage and lead a coalition of middle powers to revitalize it.

How has the geopolitical landscape and actions of major world powers influenced the efficacy of R2P?

The inconsistent application of R2P is largely due to the diverging interests of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (P5). When interventions aligned with their interests (e.g., Libya), action occurred; however, when interests diverged (e.g., Syria, Sudan), the principle was disregarded, often through the use of veto power by Russia and China to block collective responses.

What is the immediate impact of the RSF's attacks on civilians in Darfur, and what are the urgent humanitarian needs?

Paramilitary forces in Sudan, specifically the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), have committed horrific violence against civilians in Darfur, resulting in over 200 deaths in displacement camps and around El Fasher. These attacks, some of the worst since the war began two years ago, included the killing of at least 56 civilians in Um Kadadah and the entire medical staff of Relief International in Zamzam camp. The RSF claims to be targeting government fighters hiding in the camps, but evidence suggests ethnic targeting.
