This book is about what human rights responsibilities states and other actors have and how these responsibilities have been conceptualized and implemented (or not). One other significant question is how various responsibilities interact — and how does one choose among several, sometimes conflicting, responsibilities. Nowhere is this more relevant than in the debate over how to respond to mass atrocities and associated humanitarian crises. Certainly when a Somalia or Darfur or Syria appears, there are cries of ‘never again’ and calls to do ‘something,’ although what that ‘something’ is is frequently not specified. The choices facing policy makers may be unpalatable and the ‘something’ that is done is frequently not what is required. This raises further questions about political will to stop such atrocities.
