There is a separate, closed thread that may be relevant to R2P: Mass Atrocity Response Operations

Very curious timing for this report by Policy Exchange, often seen as a "neo-con" think tank in London and they explain:

In a report for Policy Exchange, Alison McGovern, the Labour MP for Wirral South and Tom Tugendhat, the Conservative MP for Tonbridge and Malling, say that “the rise of knee jerk isolationism, unthinking pacifism and anti-interventionism in Britain have dangerous implications for national security and the safety of civilians around the world”.

Going onto to add for the UK:

The report examines the history of British intervention – militarily and from a humanitarian perspective – arguing that it has been an irreducible part of British foreign and national security policy for over two hundred years. It says that while the recent lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan must be learned, a retreat from playing a proactive role in world affairs heightens the risk of further global instability.

This could have been added to the atrocity thread, but it sits here too.
