"The Rwandan genocide is 1 of 2 events in the 1990s that prodded a guilt-ridden world to pledge never again to stand aside & allow mass atrocities. The other was the massacre by Bosnian Serbs of thousands of Muslim men & boys in Srebrenica the following year. In 2005 the UN General Assembly adopted the principle that all countries have a “responsibility to protect” (R2P) people from genocide and war crimes, by force if necessary."

Thx Ben!
I agree, IF you are looking to define X in order to regulate. To regulate something that also has a societal component, wide consensus is needed for norm adoption. The term can be fuzzy enough for it to resonate broadly & measures are embedded within a larger framework for implementation. Norm robustness is ensured when the scope of the norm is narrow. Eg. #R2P Edward Luck's “narrow but deep approach” @Sina @stilldelvingh @potemkinvillage @wendysiegelman
