My delegation is aware of a draft recommendation to the
international community to consider the principle of the R2P to
end acts of violence targeted against minorities and to take
collective action, in accordance with Chapter VII of the Charter
of the United Nations, if a State is manifestly failing to protect
its population.
- In this regard, we have to be mindful that the areas of
application must be limited to clear cases of the four crimes
namely: genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes
against humanity only, as identified by the Outcome Document
of the 2005 World Summit. It is our hope that the draft
recommendation would better clarify the fact.
Furthermore, my delegation believes that use of force in
sovereign states in the name of protecting population under
danger of specified crimes deserves a deeper and wider
discussion from various aspects and its implications to avoid
abusing the concept of R2P.
