R2P is the UN doctrine of responsibility, to protect ones citizens. Each state has agreed to protect their own citizens from war, genocide and crimes of humanity, but who protects civilians in a state of emergency? How can another state intervene, when it all turns sour? Can citizens rely on the UN? Should states rely on the five tigers? Can international law save the people? Who can? Civilian Rights, Government obligations seeks to explore these questions in international law. With ongoing conflicts in Syria many of these hard questions are asked and dealt with in this book. This is a must read for those working in war zones, and necessary for NGO's working in the humanitarian sector. For many readers both Governments and Civilians alike have no understanding of the comprehensive information that is available to them in times of a state of emergency. The author hopes to have shed a light on these issues for those in the middle of a civilian uprising or in the midst of war. For governments this book sets a standard. A manual of information, for protocol and responsibilities. Treaties are not empty gestures. Civilians have rights, Governments have obligations.
