“…This is not limited to material issues, but it affects the normative sphere as well. Harig and Kenkel (2017) address this question. They argue that rising powers are not satisfied with subordinate roles as norm takers.…”

Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is the national and international responsibility to protect populations against mass atrocities. This article discusses prospects for the implementation of R2P objectives in a world where Asian powers rise. It focuses not only on prevention and assistance but also decisive action, the most controversial aspect of R2P, tied to the UN Security Council where China resides as a permanent member with a veto. The Indian R2P position also highlights, supplemented with some comments, on selected East Asian states. It concludes that the rise of Asian powers does not threaten the national responsibility to protect. Voluntary international assistance is not threatened, but assistance with coercive elements might be. Unless more clear criteria are established for the possible use of military force, mandates from the Security Council which allows this will probably be rare. Particularly, China will oppose interventions that may forward regime change in targeted states.

“…Nos momentos de maior tensão e que envolveram grande complexidade de coordenação e de ação de comando em todos os níveis, foi ressaltada a liderança de alguns dos FC brasileiros. Devidamente autorizado pela chefia da missão, o General de Divisão Carlos Alberto dos Santos Cruz -FC entre janeiro de 2007 e abril de 2009 -liderou uma série de ações ofensivas destinadas a pacificar a capital haitiana (Harig and Kenkel 2017). O êxito demonstrado nessas operações conduziu o General, mediante convite da ONU, a exercer a chefia do componente militar da operação de paz na República Democrática do Congo (Abdneur 2015, 53).…”

“…No que concerne à reconstrução, a Braengcoy realizou obras em benefício da população haitiana, particularmente a perfuração de poços artesianos, serviços de terraplanagem, recuperação de estradas e asfaltamento de ruas, assim como o tratamento de água para fornecer à população (Teixeira and Silva 2007), exercendo um papel crucial em proveito da infraestrutura do país (Harig and Kenkel 2017). A relevância do apoio prestado pôde ser atestada ao término da missão com um balanço de mais de 365 mil m 3 de produção e transporte de água tratada, 64 poços artesianos perfurados, cerca de 349 mil m 2 de asfaltamento de vias e de 815 mil m 2 de estradas reparadas, além de 23 mil m 3 de escombro/entulho removidos (Departamento de Engenharia e Construção 2017).…”

“…Despite this recent fluctuation in Brazil's foreign policy, the country has historically pursued an assiduously broad diplomacy, cultivating an international role as a constructive and cooperative partner to a wide range of states. Even so, Brazil is arguably yet to demonstrate willingness to address the "graduation dilemma" (Harig and Kenkel 2017;Milani, Pinheiro and Lima 2017), embracing the responsibilities and costs of distributional and multilateral leadership implicit in the "cooperative hegemony" of regional leadership (Flemes and Wehner 2012).…”
