The Event • L’événement
“Responsibility to Protect”, a Canadian invention, is intended to successfully counteract the international community’s
powerlessness and failure to act in the face of crises and humanitarian catastrophes. Originally established in
peacekeeping, R2P also involves other areas of operation such as diplomacy, media, and literature, whose specific
contributions can be defined as “need to debate” (diplomacy), “necessity to inform” (media), and “courage to transcend”
(literature). A separate section will be dedicated to each of these four fields.
« Responsabilité de protéger », une invention canadienne, est la tentative de combattre l’impuissance et la passivité de
la communauté internationale en cas de crises et de catastrophes humanitaires. Le projet R2P, qui se réfère, à l’origine,
au peacekeeping, fait également appel à d’autres domaines comme la diplomatie, les médias et la littérature. Leurs
contributions respectives se conçoivent comme « nécessité de négocier » (diplomatie), « obligation d'informer » (médias)
et « courage de dépasser » (littérature). Une section sera consacrée à chacun de ces quatre domaines.
