Go On! Responsibility to Protect
(Go On! is an occasional item on some symposia of interest)
The responsibility to protect vulnerable populations outside their own states from genocide and other mass atrocities is an international legal principle embrace

The Responsibility to Protect: A Framework for Confronting Identity-based Atrocities
, to be held March 10 and 11 by the
Program in Holocaust and Human Rights Studies
at the Cardozo School of Law, seeks to concretize the legal and political content of this doc
trine and to address challenges to its implementation. Additional conference partners include the
Inte
rnational Crisis Group
,
Minority Rights Gr
o
up International
, the
Institute
for the Study of Genocid
e
, and the
Institute for Global Policy
. Speakers include Heidi Hulan, Counselor, Political Affairs for the Canadian Mission to the UN;
