In summer 2008 Russia attacked Georgia claiming to protect Russian citizens under the "Responsibility to Protect" Doctrine to prevent genocide. The Responsibility to Protect Doctrine which was introduced by the " International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty" was an effort to answer to intervention/sovereignty paradox which international community faced during 1990s. This doctrine which was adopted in 2005 summit of world leaders puts the makes states responsible to protect the citizens against responsibility of protecting the citizens against four major crimes of genocide, war crimes, crime against humanity and ethnic cleansing. Under the shoulder of the states.
Despite Russia's claims, Russian behavior is not in line with the logic and conditions of responsibility to protect. Russia's claims prove that this concept is still faced with being misused by some states for their unilateral aims.
