# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
During the last decades, the meaning of sovereignty has been expanded, and nowadays it
is perceived not only as a right of states but also as a responsibility towards their people.
In this spirit, a doctrine of human protection was born, the Responsibility to Protect, with
the aim of responding to mass atrocities. However, the political nature of the Security
Council and the veto power of its permanent members can hinder the application of the
doctrine. The objective of this thesis is to spell out the dysfunctional dynamics between
the veto and the doctrine and explore in what way the Security Council decisions could
be subjected to a set of principles in R2P cases. The recent examples of Libya and Syria
will be used to manifest how two very similar cases can been dealt with diametrically
differently due to the veto use.
