In recent years, „responsibility to protect” – international security and human rights norm addressed to the international community – failure to prevent and stop genocides, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity has caused remarkable controversy in the international arena. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China advocated: „responsible protection”. Ruan Zongze proposed new concept which in his point of view can more authentically reflect the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and the basic norms of international relations, and is more in line with the trend for peace and development. The idea of “responsible protection” is an endeavor made by China in actively participating in the solution of hotspot issues and in building a reasonable new international political order based on Confucianism as an ethical and philosophical system. China shall continue to undertake its due responsibilities in upholding, together with the vast developing countries, the purposes of the UN Charter, and the basic norms governing international relations, but in the same time we have to consider if RP is not just a hybrid of R2P, as well as Brazilian RwP. Both concepts indicate that de lege ferenda governments should contribute to the global promotion of appropriate behavior towards its citizens and the organizations responsible for international peace to critical appraisal of events. In the future, instead of criticizing the theoretical shortcomings of the responsibility to protect international community should effectively seek a diplomatic solution to the tense situations, and seat earlier at the negotiating table.
