News and current affairs

The United States' action is completely consistent with the principles of the international responsibility to protect (R2P) people at risk of mass-atrocity crimes, which was embraced unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly in 2005.
The US military intervention touches all of R2P's bases of legality, legitimacy, and likely effectiveness in meeting its immediate objectives.
He began by defining three terms: the genetic relatedness between individuals (labeled r), the cost of an act of goodness (c), and the benefit that a recipient obtained when someone was nice to him or her (b).
Professor R J Rummel of the University of Hawaii investigated 353 pairs of combatants between 1816 and 1991.
But many governments are concerned that R2P raises expectations that they will act, which could prove costly in terms of lives, military expenditure, and commercial priorities.
Some governments are also worried that R2P could be turned on them.
Were China to revalue its currency, its farmers would be worse off; but in a world of free(r) trade, US farm subsidies translate into lower global agricultural prices, and thus lower prices for Chinese farmers.
Until last year, many observers regarded R2P as at best a pious hope or a noble failure.
But in 2011, as Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi prepared to exterminate his opponents in Benghazi, the Security Council invoked R2P as the basis for a resolution authorizing NATO to use armed force in Libya.
In fact, R2P is more about struggles over political legitimacy and soft power than it is about hard international law.
There are other reasons why R2P has not been a success in the Syrian case.
In an age of cyber warfare and drones, the end of R2P or humanitarian intervention is hardly foretold.

There is also the unholy glee with which they have set about destroying an icon of the anti-global warming movement, the Nobel Laureate R.K Pachauri, by attributing financial motives to his research.
One reason for the IPCC's notable success has been the skilled guiding hand of the IPCC Chairman, Dr. R. K. Pachauri, who will accept the prize on the body's behalf.
Now, these countries are largely rejecting R2P, viewing it as a device employed by Western governments to legitimize their attempts to infringe upon national sovereignty.
But this did not appear to be a majority sentiment, nor did it stop anyone from engaging in lively discussion of how the R2P doctrine could be most effectively implemented in practice.
And the primary emphasis of the entire R2P enterprise should continue to be prevention of mass-atrocity crimes - both their occurrence and their recurrence.
If they do, it should not be viewed as a rearguard action designed to undermine the R2P norm, but rather an effort to assume co-ownership of it.
