The 5 false assumptions embodied in the R2P project are:
➡ underestimating the complexity of mass atrocity prevention
➡ overestimating constraints to R2P
➡ believing there would be a consensus over existing crimes
➡ believing states would reconstruct national interests
➡ misjudging regional action

The 4 developments urging us to question whether R2P is ‘dead’ are:
➡ changing world order & implications for all human rights norms
➡ language shift away from R2P
➡ resistance to R2P within the UN
➡ lack of R2P leadership
➡ changing world order & implications for all human rights norms
➡ language shift away from R2P
➡ resistance to R2P within the UN
➡ lack of R2P leadership

⚖ The R2P norm death narrative is problematic for both critics and defenders of the norm. Critics create an overly high benchmark against which to measure the norm, allowing defenders to dismiss its death with relative ease.

Gallagher addresses this gap by analysing R2P from a norm death perspective.
