MULTISTRATEGIC AND MULTIFACED CONCEPT OF R2PAccording to the outcome document of the 2005 World Summit, R2P is based on three pillars, so there is not just one simple definition that can be applied to the Syrian crisis. . As Cronogue (2012) says, R2P involves rights and duties. Furthermore, as Welsh (2013) explains, R2P involves different actions and elements. Pillar I is based on the R2P of States towards their citizens (World Summit Outcome, 2005). In this case, the Al-Assad government does not protect its populations against war crimes and the use of chemical weapons adds even more negative value to this duty of protection (United Nations, 2014). Furthermore, Resolution 2139 (United Nations, 2014) calls for the Syrian responsibility to protect its citizens as its primary duty. Pillar II says that (World Summit Outcome, 2005): “the international community should (…) encourage and assist States”. This can show that the R2P concept adds another duty to the international community to prevent or protect the population from these crimes. In the Syrian case, the international community affirmed that the Al-Assad government must protect its citizens and put an end to these war crimes if not only the citizens but also the urbanization itself suffered, to the point that Homs , for example, became an area declared a World Heritage Site and now it is completely destroyed (Espinosa, 2014), as happened in Aleppo (HRW, 2014), being the target of conflict with civilians. Furthermore, it is argued that the Syrian government did not try to protect them due to its fight against rebels and insurgency. Moreover, the international community could not encourage and help because some of the powerful countries that have......paper......, Lebanon, Jordan… (United Nations, 2014). According to Bin Talal and Schwarz (2013), Arab countries are concerned about their responsibility to protect the Syrian population due to the reluctance of the Al-Assad government and the mitigation of war crimes. In summary, it is visible that R2P implies numerous duties and obligations, both of the international community and of each State. Therefore, it seems that those who criticize R2P should take into account the importance of its multifaceted points and duties and the multifaceted Syrian conflict, where there is a lack of protection of civilians despite the efforts of the community international to accomplish them. in the context of the Syrian conflict. It therefore seems that R2P is not dead, even if the concept itself does not fulfill all its functions in this conflict..
