The Cambodian Center for Regional Studies (CCRS), in collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Center and the Asia Pacific Center for the Responsibility to Protect, will organize a Workshop on R2P at 20: The Search for Effective Atrocity’s Prevention and Protection in the Region on 23-24 March 2026 at Sunway Hotel, Phnom Penh.
In Southeast Asia, it is difficult for states to promote and implement the R2P norms adopted at 2005 World Summit. Regional states lack political will to act collectively in the interest of advancing the R2P norms due to geopolitical interests, declining governance and imbalanced relationship between civilian-military relations, intra-state conflicts, and the rise of external insecurity.
This one-and-half-day workshop will bring together 50 participants such as parliamentary and government officials, academia, think tankers who are knowledgeable regional and national experts to share their perspectives on these R2P challenges.
This event is by-invitation only.
