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 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.

🤔 How do we know when a norm is dead? Much of the existing literature discusses how norms are made as opposed to ‘norm death.’ Gallagher addresses this gap by analysing R2P from a norm death perspective.
