Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect
Policy & advocacy NGO (R2P norm) · New York, USA (CUNY Graduate Center) · est. 2008
Publishes 'Atrocity Alerts' and a populations-at-risk monitor; advocates the Responsibility to Protect at the UN.
Government donors (Australia, EU, UK, US, Canada, Netherlands, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Qatar, Rwanda, and others) plus foundations (Open Society, MacArthur, Carnegie, Humanity United).
Founded by figures including Kofi Annan, Gareth Evans, and Mary Robinson, with HRW, the International Crisis Group, and Oxfam. Independent NGO, but heavily government-funded.
Authoritative policy analysis and at-risk monitoring. But it is an advocate for a specific doctrine (R2P), and its broad government funding is a consideration when weighing its framing.
A nonprofit with a board of directors and appointed executive director — not a membership association. Staff analysts produce alerts and policy briefs. Donor governments and foundations fund operations but do not individually elect leadership.
