What use of force does R2P justify? When is force justified by R2P?

This week, we depart from considerations of domestic use of force in the U.S., to international use of force by the U.S. Yes, a very different discussion from use of force by police, but a discussion that has a number of similarities
as well.
After reading Bellamy (2008), respond to the following:
1. What is R2P? What is its purpose? Who (what entity / entities) does it involve?
2. What are criticisms of R2P? i.e., its use as a Trojan Horse.
3. What use of force does R2P justify? When is force justified by R2P?
4. Is R2P an authority to act or an obligation to act? Does it empower the use of force, or does it place a responsibility to use force? Explain.
5. Why explore R2P in a course on the use of force in the CJ system in America?
