Event Description

What:

10 years since the Responsibility to Protect Outcome Document was unanimously adopted by world leaders at the 2005 World Summit, the international community today finds itself deadlocked whileSyria is torn asunder, violence in Ukraine flits in and out of the headlines, and a cohesive European strategy for a migration crisis of historic proportions is left wanting.

 

Liberal International and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Group (ALDE Group) in the European Parliament invite members of the press to attend a special programme of meetings around the theme The Responsibility to Protect Ten Years On: What Next?

 

Hosted by Mr. Ilhan Kyuchyuk, Member of the European Parliament (Bulgaria) on behalf of the ethnic Turkish minority party MRF, world-leading experts on international law, politics, and human rights, will debate whether or what future R2P has. There will be an opportunity to put questions to panellists.

 

Who:

Dr. Irwin Cotler (Canada) –Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada (2003-06)

 

 Mr. Anatoliy Grytsenko (Ukraine) – Minister of Defence of Ukraine (2005-07)
