The Book by Veronika Bílková Has Been Reviewed

Katarína Šipulová and Lenka Lakotová, interns at the Czech Centre for Human Rights and Democratization, have reviewed the book "Responsibility to Protect: New Hope or Old Hypocrisy?" by Veronika Bílková, which has been published in the Czech language by Charles University in Prague.

"The book is divided into three parts: the first one deals with a development and alterations of the concept since its origins until an establishment of its contemporary version. The second one deals with a content and a nature of the concept and the last one is focused on a practical implementation using case studies. When elaborating on the concept, the author has used an interesting metodological combination of both law science and international relations approaches and the entire text stems from constructivism-positivism. She thus analyzes R2P not only as an emerging norm, but she also focuses on its internalization by states by means of a process of socialization. The publication represents well done analysis of an issue which haven't been elaborated on within the Czech environment yet."
