The mission of the Asia Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (the Centre or APR2P) is to deepen knowledge and advance policy on the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle, and facilitate effective prevention and response mechanisms to mass atrocities within the Asia Pacific region.
Launched in February 2008, the Centre is dedicated to achieving this mission through research and policy dialogue with our regional and international partners, with funding from The University of Queensland.
