The Centre conducts research and publishes reports on meetings, workshops and issues relating to the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) in countries throughout the Asia Pacific. In this section, relevant reports relating to R2P can be found for each country in the region, along with overviews and details of relevant partner programs.
Implementing The Responsibility To Protect In The Asia Pacific - An Assessment of Progress and Challenges 2019 (PDF, 5.3MB) is the Centre's overarching research of the area, and provides an assessment of the implementation of R2P for each country in the region, as of October 2019. The assessment was based on the Secretary-General's Annual Reports on R2P, and the Framework of Analysis for Atrocity Crimes (accessible from the Core R2P Documents page). This assessment forms a 'baseline' of the region, so research in future years can measure progress (or regression) of R2P within each country over time.
In 2023 this Baseline R2P assessment was updated buidling on the past two years reports. Read it here: Implementening the Responsibility to Protect in the Asia Pacific: An Assessment of Progress of Challnges, 2023/24 (PDF, 725 KB) The full country reports have also been updated and can be found below. In 2022 the R2P Baseline was updated Implementing the Responsibility to Protect In The Asia Pacific - An Assessment of Progress and Challenges (PDF, 1.8MB) and measures improvements and decreases in R2P throughout the Asia Pacific in the preceding two years.
All associated technical annexes described in both the 2019 and 2022 versions, which provide detailed assessment for each country, can be found in each respective country sections.
