| International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS). Sponsored by Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs and launched Sept. 14, 2000, the Commission's Dec. 18, 2001 report, The Responsibility to Protect, was the culmination of twelve months of intensive research, worldwide consultations and deliberation. The report states that sovereign states have a responsibility to protect their own citizens from avoidable catastrophe, but that when they are unwilling or unable to do so, that responsibility must be borne by the broader community of states. The 12-member Commission was Co-Chaired by Gareth Evans, head of the International Crisis Group and former Australian Foreign Minister (1988-96), and Mohamed Sahnoun, Special Advisor to the UN Secretary-General and former Algerian Ambassador to Germany, France, and the United States. Other Commission members included Lee Hamilton, former US Congressman from 1965 to 1999, Michael Ignatieff of Canada, Professor of Human Rights at Harvard University, Cyril Ramaphosa, former Secretary-general of the African National Congress and Fidel Ramos, President of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998. |
