Following the genocides in Rwanda and Yugoslavia, the global community's vow of 'Never Again' is under scrutiny amid the severe human rights and humanitarian crisis happening in Palestine. Israel's current bloodshed in the Gaza Strip cast doubts about the global dedication to safeguarding humanity through the R2P doctrine. This research aims to analyse the intricate factors and reveal the shortcomings of the international community in preventing large-scale atrocities, particularly focusing on the failure of the United Nations (UN) and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). The writers contend that global efforts to address the present human catastrophe in Gaza have been ineffective because of the politicisation of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine. This politicisation demonstrates both the doctrine's inherent faults and the underlying power politics of key actors in the UN. By examining the intricacies and the failure of qualitative analysis of existing data, the study shows how political interests overshadow the commitment to protect human rights and prevent suffering in Gaza. The research highlights the urgent need for measures to identify contributing factors. This paper aims to understand why the R2P framework failed in Gaza, excluding the broader origins and multifaceted nature of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
