Which of the following is NOT a focus of R2P?

The principle of Responsibility to Protect (R2P) primarily revolves around three key pillars: the protection of human rights, the prevention of genocide, and the safeguarding of vulnerable populations. The primary aim of R2P is to ensure that nations take responsibility to protect their own citizens from mass atrocities and to intervene collectively when states fail to protect those at risk.

Prevention of terrorism is not a central focus of R2P. While states certainly acknowledge that terrorism poses a significant threat to human rights and security, R2P is specifically oriented towards the prevention and response to large-scale human rights violations, such as genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. Therefore, the emphasis on human rights, vulnerable populations, and genocide distinctly frames the core objectives of the R2P doctrine, setting it apart from issues related to terrorism.
