EXPANDING THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT: SAVING POPULATIONS FROM HIV/AIDS.

The article discusses the proposed expansion of the Responsibility to Protect (RtoP) international norm to include protections from HIV and AIDS as of June 2013, focusing on international crimes against humanity such as genocide. Other topics include international human rights law, sovereignty, and South African President Thabo Mbeki's views on AIDS. The author argues that RtoP should be used to protect populations from mass loss of life due to HIV and AIDS.
