The UN used the responsibility to protect (R2P) principle as rationale for military involvement during the war in Libya in 2011.

The "international responsibility to protect" takes precedence over "the principle of non-intervention" when a state's population is experiencing "serious harm" as a result of factors ranging from state failure to intra-state conflict and the state in question is "unwilling or unable" to take any action to stop it. This obligation "flows from already existing legal duties of States under international law," as is generally acknowledged. This obligation falls under the umbrella of "treaty and customary duties of States under human rights law," in addition to "humanitarian law and international criminal law," as is correctly stated.

The UNSCR 1973 was what gave permission for a military intervention in Libya. First and second pillar duties of the contending parties and the Libyan authorities are the first and clearest examples of R2P terminology in the resolution. 'Reaffirming that the parties to armed hostilities hold the primary responsibility to take all practical measures to ensure the safety of civilians and reiterating the responsibility of the Libyan government to safeguard the Libyan population.' The current "systematic attacks" being carried out "against the civilian population" are then regarded to be crimes against humanity, they continue.
