Abstract

The Syrian conflict (2011-2014) is a threat to the maintenance of peace and international security. In the context of this conflict, many atrocities have been committed which could thus facilitate the use of the concept of Responsibility to Protect. The Security Council has failed to adopt the adequate measures, because of the veto power of two permanent members. Thereby, only a deep reform of the veto right can permit the practical development of the concept of Responsibility to Protect, as well as the chapter VII of the United Nations Charter.
