ABSTRACT
In the first chapter of the book, the author describes how and why the international community gave birth to the Responsibility to Protect norm. Then she analyses this norm in detail, focusing in particular on prevention and early warning. Subsequently, she makes an excursus on the presence/absence of ‘gender’ in the Responsibility to Protect developments and of gender-sensitive early warning mechanisms. Finally, she introduces the importance of adding gender-sensitive indicators in early warning frameworks for genocide prevention concerning the Responsibility to Protect.
