The civil war in Dystopia has intensified with Government forces sweeping the countryside and killing civilians who are suspected of aiding the rebel forces. The "aid" includes feeding and housing rebel soldiers and providing medical assistance to injured rebel soldiers. The Government has also started interning civilians, including children, who belong to the minority ethnicity in Dystopia because the rebel forces are primarily of that ethnicity. There is a rumor that those civilians will be executed or given long prison sentences and the children will be adopted by families of the majority ethnicity. M.L. wonders if there is anything in international law to address this situation.

Please describe and explain to M.L. the doctrine of "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P). You may also want to include one or two real-life events/situations/examples to assist in explaining the doctrine or, for purposes of illustration. Your answer should be no more than 1-2 paragraphs.
