      abstract = {The book provides an up to date and authoritative account  of how the UN is re[1]thinking its obligations to protect  civilians during conflicts. Based on hundreds of interviews  with senior UN officials and humanitarian protection staff  in headquarters and in the field and a review of the UN's  "grey literature". It also draws on the author´s own  experience of working on human rights and protection in  some of the world´s most violent conflicts. It is written  not about what the UN ought to do -- or how it could have  behaved differently in an abstract or theoretically ideal  world - but what the UN is actually doing to fulfil the  fundamental purposes set forth in its Charter. Conor Foley  teaches at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de  Janeiro and works as a consultant on legal reform, human  rights, and humanitarian protection in conflict zones. His  previous books include UN Peacekeeping Operations and the  Protection of Civilians, saving succeeding generations  (2017) The Thin Blue Line, how humanitarianism went to war  (2008) and In Spite of You: Bolsonaro and the new Brazilian  resistance (2019).},
