Organized by

The Bill Graham Centre for the Study of Contemporary International History is a collaborative program between Trinity College and the Munk School of Global Affairs. Currently located in offices at Trinity College, the program involves graduates and undergraduates, particularly those with interests in the fields of international relations, international history, and international law. With a focus on contemporary international history, the Centre contributes to both teaching and research at the University of Toronto and involves undergraduates in the International Relations program through special lectures, visiting professors, workshops and conferences.

The Canadian Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (CCR2P), based at the Munk School of Global Affairs, is a non-profit research organization which aims to promote scholarly engagement and political implementation of the principle. The Responsibility to Protect, also referred to as RtoP or R2P, is a newly emerging norm coined in 2001 and later adopted by 150 states at the 2005 World Summit, which maintains that when sovereign states are unable or unwilling to fulfill their responsibility to protect their own populations from genocide and other mass atrocities, the international community has the responsibility to do so. The CCR2P has advised the Inter-Parliamentary Union on their recent solution on R2P and currently has over 80 students working in the research and advocacy wings. (www.ccr2p.org)
