Annotation: The article describes the causes of the concept of the ‘responsibility for protection’ (‘responsibility to protect’) – ‘R2P’ – and analyses its content and connection to the idea of ‘humanitarian intervention’. It is an attempt to correlate the stated goals of the concept with the actual intentions of those who begin to put it into practice. It outlines the main provisions of the Brazilian concept of ‘responsibility in the process of protection’ (‘responsibility while protecting’) – ‘RWP’ – and the Chinese concept of ‘responsible protection’ – ‘RP’. It lays out proposals to form a Russian concept of the ‘duty to protect’. All problems and concepts are considered in the context of international law
