That task was not completed with the UN peace process three decades ago: it remains work in progress. The present reality is that, particularly when it comes to that more robust third pillar, R2P remains at best work in progress. As an effective preventive force, and as a catalyst for institutional change, it has had many identifiable successes.

But as an effective reactive mechanism, when prevention has failed, the record — since the Libyan case ran off the rails in — has been manifestly poor, above all in Syria. In the present international environment — with China and Russia now behaving as they are — it will be a long and difficult process to recreate any kind of Security Council consensus as to how to react to the hardest of cases.

A lot depends in this respect on the willingness of the United States, United Kingdom and France to acknowledge that they, more than anyone else, were responsible for the breakdown of that consensus by their actions in Libya in — not by their missteps after Gaddafi was overthrown, which they frankly acknowledge, but their refusal to accept that the military intervention mandate agreed by Security Council, in the face of an imminent massacre in Benghazi, was for limited civilian protection purposes, and did not extend to open-ended warfighting designed to achieve regime change.

If Trump is re-elected in the US, we can wave goodbye for the foreseeable future — with R2P as with just about everything else in the multilateral system — to any prospect of effective international consensus on these great value issues.

But if he is thrown out in November decency has a chance. Learning the biggest lesson of all from the Cambodian genocide — the need to make R2P genuinely effective — means above all mobilizing the political will to make something actually happen when it must.

For that to happen many arguments need to be effectively made to many different constituencies. But the most compelling argument — the one that spurred world leaders to accept the R2P norm in principle in , and which will continue to be crucial in ensuring its practical implementation — remains the moral one, based simply on our common humanity: our duty to rise above the legacy of all those terrible failures in the past, and ensure that never again do any of us stand by, or pass by, in the face of mass atrocity crimes.
