United Nations, New York, 23 July 2009 - Noon briefing by the Office of the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. The Secretary-General's Special Advisor, Edward Luck, today addressed the General Assembly's informal interactive dialogue on the responsibility to protect.

He said the concept's principles are universal. Every part of the world has suffered mass atrocity crimes at one point or another, he added.

Luck noted that detractors often said the responsibility to protect was another word for military intervention. But he stressed that it actually sought to discourage unilateralism and military adventurism.
