This study delves into the practical application of the United Nations principle of Responsibility to Protect (R2P) within the complex context of the Central African Republic (CAR), focusing on key events such as the 2012 civil war, the 2013 ethnic and religious conflicts, and the Boali Massacre. Adopting a qualitative methodology rooted in constructivism theory, the research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of R2P in preventing and addressing mass atrocities in CAR. The study explores the complexities of the international community's response to these crises, scrutinizing the timeliness of their intervention. The research also seeks to identify and analyze existing limitations and challenges that impede the successful implementation of R2P in CAR, considering the intricate issues that may hinder its transformation into an established norm. By investigating the involvement of regional and international actors, the study aims to unravel the enduring repercussions of R2P on peace, stability, and state-building in CAR. This research contributes valuable insights into the dynamics of humanitarian intervention, the concept of state sovereignty, and the practical application of R2P within conflict-ridden settings. The findings hold implications for refining international responses to mass atrocities in CAR and similar challenging environments, ultimately enriching the broader discourse on the Responsibility to Protect.
