"The Role of Business in the Responsibility to Protect closes the gap between research on the Responsibility to Protect and the private sector, as previous research has focused only on state
responsibilities and state actors. This book examines in detailthe developing research on the significant role that private sector actors can play in promoting peace and stability. Contributors
to this volume explore the key arguments for where, why, and how private sector actors can contribute to the prevention andcessation of mass atrocity crimes; and how this can inform and extend
the UN policy discussion around Responsibility to Protect. The contributors include lead voices in the Responsibility to Protect discourse as well as central voices in business and peace
literature"--
