We were honored to welcome Prof. Pınar Gözen Ercan from Hacettepe University as a distinguished guest speaker for our Peace Talk Series. Prof. Ercan shared insights on the R2P (Responsibility to Protect) Approach, a pivotal framework dedicated to preventing mass atrocities such as genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. During her presentation, Prof. Ercan not only elucidated the core concept of R2P but also provided compelling examples of its application in real-world contexts. Furthermore, she discussed the challenges and barriers encountered in the effective implementation of this approach.
