The Responsibility to Protect is a concept in international law that aims to help people in need during conflicts when their own government or the UN can't. Some experts argue about how useful this concept is. This paper suggests that the debate is confused because people look at humanitarian law from different angles. By understanding both the structure and content of humanitarian law, we can see the need to fill gaps and make the law clearer. This can help strengthen the Responsibility to Protect and make it more effective in helping those in need during conflicts.
