Zarrin T. Caldwell
What is the role of the nation-state in a globalizing world? The need is not for a relinquishment of national identity per se, but for becoming "unstuck" from the almost sacrosanct nation-state-centered doctrines that undergird policy at multiple levels.

Alex J. Bellamy
Where it was once a term of art employed by a handful of likeminded countries, activists, and scholars, but regarded with suspicion by much of the rest of the world, RtoP has become a commonly accepted frame of reference for preventing and responding to mass atrocities.

Jennifer Welsh
While it is unclear how the crisis in Libya will affect the fortunes and trajectory of the principle of the responsibility to protect, Libya will significantly shape the parameters within which the debate over what RtoP entails, and how it might be operationalized, will occur.

James Pattison
Three central questions lie at the heart of this roundtable. First, what are the implications of Libya for the RtoP doctrine? Second, how should we judge the intervention in Libya morally and politically? Third, what is the likelihood of future action under RtoP?
