Preventing and addressing violence and atrocities against minorities 2014, para. 15
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- In 2004, the post of Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide was established with the principal objective of providing advice on actions to protect vulnerable populations from genocide. The Special Adviser identifies potential threats to populations at an early stage and makes recommendations for the more constructive management of cultural diversity issues. By resolution 60/1, the General Assembly adopted the 2005 World Summit Outcome, in which a principle of prime importance to the protection of minorities is established: the responsibility to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. The responsibility to protect prioritizes diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means before force is contemplated. It recognizes, however, the duty of the international community to intervene to protect populations when their own Governments cannot or lack the will to do so. A Special Adviser on the Responsibility to Protect has been designated to lead the conceptual, political, institutional and operational development of the concept.
