The African Union is the only intergovernmental organization to make the responsibility to protect part of its foundational text Article 4(h) of its Constitutive Act. Although interventions have occurred since the Constitutive Act came into force the AU Assembly has not invoked Article 4(h) explicitly. This book explores the potential application of this provision and the legal and policy challenges implementation faces, given that the use of force penetrates the principles of state sovereignty and non-intervention, cornerstones upon which the AU is founded. The book brings together experts in the field to analyse the legal, policy and practical aspects of implementing Article 4(h).
