Responsibility to protect doctrine was endorsed at the 2005 World Summit whose final document declared
that “the international community, through the United Nations, also has the responsibility to use the appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means… to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity”.

Secondly, the new type of peacekeeping operations undertaken since the 1990s blurred the boundary between

emerged in the 1990s are continuing to operate
in the grey area between traditional peacekeeping,
humanitarian intervention and nation-building
(Cottey, 2008: 431).
