- Description
- Gareth Evans, one of the key architects of 'responsibility to protect' (R2P), explores whether the World Summit endorsement of this concept in 2005 has helped the advance towards ending genocide and other major crimes against humanity. He examines whether the new norm has been implemented effectively in practice, or whether it remains simply inspirational and aspirational; whether this year's Security Council-endorsed military intervention in Libya constitutes a dramatic new benchmark for its application in extreme cases, or whether it represents the high-water mark from which the tide will now recede.

- Nuclear Iran: A Diplomatic Solution?
- Runtime

- Date posted

- Description
- Over six years, negotiations on Iran suspending its uranium enrichment programme, which would be at the heart of any weapons programme, have got nowhere. US bilateral, Security Council and EU sanctions have restricted and delayed aspects of Iran's nuclear activities, but have not caused Iran to negotiate on the terms offered. Jon Davies will set out the logic of British policy and why this remains the best way to promote regional security and protect the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Peter Jenkins will argue that the present mix of policies which has been rendered obsolete by developments since 2006, is doomed to fail, and entails costs the West can ill afford; and will go on to suggest better options.
