| Title | Modern International Responsibility to Protect: A Study of the Cyber International Responsibility to Protect A Case Study of Iran |
| Summary | The principle of R2P has been much debated amongst scholars. Nevertheless, there are aspects to it that have been somehow isolated. The link between cyberspace and R2P is one of those issues, although some attention has been rising towards it in the recent years. In this thesis, I will be studying the role of cyberspace in the implementation of R2P. The focus would be on how R2P is implemented through cyberspace. I will be studying different methods of cyber R2P and their targets, depending on their functions. Drawing from these arguments, I shall be making my argument that providing internet could be considered a case of R2P, as the aforementioned methods of cyber R2P are all based on the hypothesis that the population has access to global internet. At the end, I merge the arguments with the facts from the ongoing situation in Iran, and conclude that in the discussed manners, providing safe, un-censurable internet the protestors in Iran (2022-2023) could be considered a case of R2P. |
