Legal Analysis of the “Responsibility to Protect” Concept in the Context of Globalization

Abstract

In this article, the concept of “responsibility to protect” is considered as one of the aspects of legal globalization. According to this concept, sovereignty is not a right and not a privilege, but an obligation of the state, and if the state is unable to ensure its sovereignty, the international community has the right to intervene in the current situation. Such an approach completely changes the traditionally established ideas about the subject of state sovereignty, since the very possibility of other states interfering in the affairs of another state is a violation of the principle of sovereignty in its generally accepted understanding.
