"This report explores in detail China’s position on the Responsibility to Protect (R2P)and a range of policy issues relating to R2P to highlight China’s firm, but cautious, support for the principle. China has twice endorsed R2P at the UN, first at the World Summit in 2005 and later in Security Council Resolution 1674. Since then, China has clearly and consistently affirmed the R2P principle and issued corresponding statements in favor of bolstering the UN’s capacity to avert mass atrocity." (Quoted from paper)
