The Assessment of the Practice of the UN Security Council on the Use of R2P

Following the adoption of the Responsibility of Protection (R2P) in the heads of States Summit in the United Nations General Assembly in 2005, the Security Council which was eager to expand its powers after September 11, 2001 in international sphere, tried to justify some of its actions by this doctrine .The R2P, can be used as effective tool for protecting nations from the oppression and international crimes to which SC may refer in some situations. Regarding the practie of SC, it seems that SC normally takes the interests of P5 into consideration, while in some cases e.g.Lybia, Ivory Coast and Darfur it actively applies R2P, in some other urgent cases e.g.Yemen, Syria and Bahrain simply ignores it.
