Its role is to contribute to the effective operational implementation of the responsibility to protect norm by conducting solid, policy-oriented research on relevant topics, ensuring liaison regarding pertinent research with other organizations in the GCR2P network, and disseminating research findings through a host of convening and outreach activities.

(2012). The Responsibility to Protect: Integrating Gender Perspectives into Policies and Practices,
i Global Responsibility to Protect, Volume 4, Issue 2
