Responsibility to protect or "R to P" refers to the "principle of responsibility to protect", and on the basis of which the government is not a privilege, but a "responsibility" that leaders should have towards the people. Each government has a duty to protect its people against mass murder, war crimes, racial or ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity. This responsibility requires the prevention of such crimes through appropriate and necessary means. Accordingly, a government should not wage war and slaughter against its own people and justify this oppression with "sovereignty" and principles such as "non-interference" and "equality of states". If the government fails to take responsibility for it and resort to the hot and cold war against its own people, and it brings forth wars and massacres, the international community has the right to interfere in that country. This interference is not from the beginning of a violent and armed struggle. The international community can deal with the government at the beginning of the law and put political and economic constraints on it to stop harassing its own people, but this interference can also be drawn into a military confrontation, an interference that needs to change the situation in its own perspective. And he will end the war and massacre. Meanwhile, this military intervention should be inevitably inevitable. That is, diplomatic methods do not answer. Another point is that this intervention does not necessarily take into account the fall of the anti-people government from the outset, and the overthrow of the perpetrated government (even if it is not announced) is not its predetermined objective. In this paper, the authors are seeking to investigate the Syrian crisis and be responsible for the protecting international organizations in the crisis, and this raises the question of whether international organizations in the process of protecting responsibility have managed to control the Syrian crisis.
