EXCERPT: Responsibility to Protect (R2P) is a principle born in the wake of atrocities committed in Rwanda, Kosovo, and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s, and officially endorsed by the United Nations in 2005 – a commitment by the international community to intervene when national leaders commit or fail to protect their citizens from mass atrocities. Featuring such experts on humanitarian interventions as Paddy Ashdown and Michael Ignatieff, this video from Thomson Reuters Foundation examines R2P’s mixed legacy and uncertain future more than a decade after its adoption by the UN and some six years into the Syrian civil war....

just watched the video. decided not to be contraversially flippant.

it does seem that the global mood is nationalism. a pulling back from global moral conformity.
why is that ?
has anything changed morally in global communities ?
is the trend toward nationalism a sign of a change or a sign of a reaction ?

now here is a clincher...
what part if any has globalism got to play in this ?
is globalism devoid of national interest e.g busines owners live in one country and outsource their company jobs to a different country which potentially then undermines the society of their own country .. thus pushing toward a reactionary process of nationalism to fight back against globalism...
that then seeks to pull back global support for other countrys as the national economy is starved of profit and the people seek to bring in austerity processes to cut back on social spending while jobs are lost and consumer disposable income drops...

what is the economic link ?
is economics devoid of global moral responsibility ?(express terms)
