‘To prevent future Kosovos and future Rwandas.’ A critical constructivist view of the Responsibility to Protect

Pages 1074-1097 | Received 24 Jun 2015, Accepted 30 Jun 2015, Published online: 15 Oct 2015
 

Abstract

The 2005 World Summit led to the unanimous declaration that all states have a responsibility to protect (R2P) their own population from genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanities, and ethnic cleansing. Furthermore, it was agreed that, should a state manifestly fail, the international community would take over this responsibility. Despite this seemingly broad agreement of the R2P 10 years ago, more recent events in Libya and Syria have highlighted the ongoing contestation of R2P. Analysing the discourse within the UN Security Council on Libya and Syria between 2011 and early 2015, this article holds that the ongoing contestation is understandable through a critical constructivist framework, and that furthermore R2P, despite all criticism, can be credited with opening discursive spaces in which a politics of protection aimed at individual human beings, becomes possible.

8 As part of this discourse I conducted interviews in March and April of 2014 in New York, with a range of actors from NGOs, diplomatic missions, and from within the UN. In accordance with agreements with those interviewed, all interviewees remain anonymous. The interviews are labelled as A1 through to A9. The audio recording and the transcripts of all interviews are on file with me. If a reference is made to a specific part of the interview, I use the line numbers within the transcript.

9 I follow the unwritten convention that ‘international relations' refers to the field of studies, while International Relations or IR refers to the discipline within political science concerned with international relations.

87 Karin Fierke has suggested to differentiate between ‘inconsistent’ and ‘consistent’ constructivism, arguing ‘ …  that within international relations “constructivism” has come to be associated with an approach that identifies a causal relationship between ideas and material relations. in This position is criticized by poststructuralists because it is overly agentic, in so far as ideas are understood to be instrumentally employed by individual actors, with insufficient attention to how these actors are constrained by a social and historical context of interaction'.

Sharpe, 2001), : 115–135, 121. In her view a ‘consistent constructivism’ would be able to overcome these weaknesses by placing itself between ‘inconsistent constructivism’ and post-structural approaches. ibid., 121–122.

99 This often made distinction is from a critical constructivist viewpoint somewhat irrelevant as all norms are inherently contested, a legal ratification does not change this fact.

118 I take this characterization from Patrick T. Jackson and Daniel H. Nexon, ‘Relations Before States: Substance, Process and the Study of World Politics’, European Journal of International Relations 5 no. 3 (1999): 293. They argue that, ‘[t]he majority of IR theories are substantialist – they presume that entities precede interaction, or that entities are already entities before they enter into social relations with other entities' (ibid.). Relational approaches on the contrary, do not presume this.

122 This term is taken from Neumann: ‘Some texts will show up as crossroads or anchor points, such as short government treaties outlining policies (called white papers in most English-speaking countries). These are called canonical texts or monuments. …  It is useful to select texts around these monuments, since monuments also contain reference to other texts  … ". Iver B. Neumann, ‘Discourse Analysis', in Qualitative Methods in International Relations, ed. Audie Klotz and Deepa Prakash (Houndsmill: Palgrave Macmillan, 2008): 61–77, 67.

123 The term discourse is broadly used within political science as well as sociology and hence a number of understandings are discussed and presented in the literature: Milliken, ‘The Study of Discourse in International Relations’; Milliken, ‘Discourse Study: Bringing Rigor to Critical Theory’; Iver B. Neumann, ‘Discourse Analysis', in Qualitative Methods in International Relations, ed. Audie Klotz and Deepa Prakash (Houndsmill: Palgrave Macmillan, 2008): 61–77; Reiner Keller, ‘Analysing Discourse: An Approach From the Sociology of Knowledge’, Forum Qualitative Social Research 6, no. 3 (2005); Reiner Keller, and Willy Viehöver ‘Diskursanalyse’, in Methoden der Politikwissenschaft, ed. Joachim Behnke et al. (Baden-Baden: Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft, 2006): 103–111 ; Norman Fairclough, and Ruth Wodak, ‘Critical Discourse Analysis', in Discourse as Social Interaction, ed. van Dijk, Teujn Adrianus (London: SAGE Publications, 1997): 258–285. In this article I rely on the following definition by Anna Holzscheiter, who argues that ‘ …  discourse is the space where human beings make sense of the material world, where they attach meaning to the worlds and where representations of the world become manifest. The existence of a material world outside discourse is, thus, not denied – what is refuted is the assumption that we can relate to this material world without discourse. In its essence, discourse analysis is an engagement with meaning and the linguistic and communicative process through with social reality is constructed'. Holzscheiter, ‘Between Communicative Interaction and Structures of Signification’, 144.

124 As one interview partner remarked this somewhat refutes the argument that R2P was to serve as a Trojan horse for western imperialism (Interview A6: 180–182).

152 Adler-Nissen and Pouliot have a somewhat more strategic-based explanation for the agreement: ‘In the struggle to look competent, other Council members could not counter P3 moves and resources.
