Responsibility to Protect in European security policy
Křišťanová, Karolina ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
The aim of the present thesis is to find common ground between Responsibility to protect (R2P) and European Security and Defense Policy in a way that would enable us to say whether and in which way can the two policies be supportive of one another in achieving their goals. The thesis is divided into three chapters. Chapter one describes Responsibility to protect. It especially focuses on the features and the content of the policy on the background of its development. Finally, it discusses the means that the norm employs. Chapter two is about European security and defense policy, but focuses almost entirely on European security strategy. Chapter three answers why and in what way the EU should include R2P into its security policy. It further tries to establish what the European Union should focus on, while implementing R2P. The very last section provides suggestions for what steps should the EU now follow in order to help effectively implement R2P while practicing its security and defense policy.
