In the past, Brazil has been one of the States most concerned that the concepts of ‘responsibility to protect’ and the ‘protection of civilians’ are not used as a cover for regime change by Western nations. This concern was most acute during and following the NATO intervention in Libya in 2011. Brazil feared that the measures approved in Resolution 1973 might have the unintended effect of ‘causing more harm than good to the very same civilians we are committed to protecting’. Brazil argued that protecting civilians, ensuring a lasting settlement, and addressing the legitimate demands of Libyan citizens demanded a political process. Brazil is credited with devising – and then not further pursuing – the phrase ‘Responsibility While Protecting’ (RWP).
