AbstractWhether we wish to acknowledge it or not, trust issues permeate all security policy deliberations, including recent discussions at United Nations headquarters focused on building acceptance of the Responsibility to Protect (RtoP) norm and laying out plans for the full implementation of all three of its programmatic 'pillars.' This paper assesses resources for and commitments to trust building in three core areas – trust in the viability of the norm itself, trust in the persons most closely associated with the norm, and trust in the institutions (UN and Regional Bodies) projected to 'house' the norm and oversee all phases of its implementation. As this implementation process moves from consideration of state-focused, 'first pillar' preventive and early warning capacities to 'third pillar,' last-resort, direct responses to threats of atrocity crimes, the need for durable and dependable bonds of trust between RtoP advocates, diplomats and policymakers becomes more acute.

The current challenges and potential future of peacekeeping in an increasingly complex world take center stage in this far-reaching collection. Contributors advance a nuanced picture of post-conflict environments across different areas of the globe while considering possible deployments of peacekeeping, traditional military, and UN forces in semi-autonomous complementary roles. Longstanding debate topics such as the need for a standing UN army and the field implementation of global right-to-protect concepts are discussed, as are emerging ideas in civilian protection, atrocity prevention, and balancing triage operations with long-term peacebuilding efforts. Other dispatches chronicle key issues and concerns regarding peacekeeping operations in Brazil, China, and diverse regions of Africa. Included in the coverage: Protecting strangers: reflections on a cosmopolitan peacekeeping capacity. Towards a standing UN force for peacekeeping. Challenges posed by intervention brigades and other coercive measures in support of the protection of civilians. Addressing the criminal accountability of peacekeepers. The evolution of China's role in peacekeeping and atrocity crime prevention. Businesses and investors as stakeholders in atrocity crime prevention. "In a refreshing and engaging manner, this edited volume represents a much-needed contribution to the debate on how best to address current security threats given the limitations and the possibilities of peacekeeping and atrocity prevention." Dr. Maria Stern, School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg "This collection of articles effectively points to the challenges, complexities and sensitivities of preventing and halting mass atrocity crimes in part through the use of UN peacekeeping operations." Dr. György Tatár, Budapest Centre for the International Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities Including a Foreword by Adama Dieng, UN Secretary-General's Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide
