This is the first HRC resolution entirely on the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). In the resolution, the Council decided to convene an intersessional panel discussion on the exchange of best practices on strengthening national policies and strategies to implement the responsibility to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity through national mechanisms and other stakeholders.
