• R2P i Sikkerhetsrådets klype - nødvendig, men problematisk 

      Dahl-Eriksen, Tor Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-13)
      Artikkelen handler om den internasjonale dimensjonen ved ansvaret for å beskytte befolkninger mot forbrytelser av massivt omfang: folkemord, forbrytelser mot menneskeheten, krigsforbrytelser og fordrivelse på etnisk grunnlag.
