<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Events of the last decade demand new approaches to atrocity prevention that are adaptable, innovative and independent of a state-centered doctrine. With the aim of reducing risk factors such as civil war, Ackerman and Merriman argue for a new normative framework called The Right to Assist (RtoA), which would strengthen international coordination and support for nonviolent civil resistance campaigns demanding rights, freedom and justice against non-democratic rule.</p><p>RtoA would: </p><p>1. engage a wide range of stakeholders such as NGOs, states, multilateral institutions and others;</p><p>2. bolster various factors of resilience against state fragility; and</p><p>3. incentivize opposition groups to sustain commitment to nonviolent strategies of change.</p><p>The adoption of this doctrine can reduce the probability of violent conflict that significantly heightens atrocity risk, while increasing the prospects for constructive human development.</p>
