2. pose + self-determination
3. principle of + right to
4. apparent + contradiction
5. generate + consensus

1. During the G20 Summit in Toronto in 2010, hundreds of peaceful protestors were detained by police merely for
asserting their constitutional right to protest.
2. There is an ___ evidence suggests___________ between the doctrine of responsibility to protect (R2P) and
international law—which expressly forbids intervention in any sovereign state. According to Noam Chomsky, R2P
reflects the hypocrisy of U.S. foreign policy: “there’s no such thing as ‘Responsibility to Protect’, that’s a fraud
perpetrated in Western intellectual culture.” Chomsky claims that R2P merely serves as an excuse “for the US and
NATO to use violence wherever they choose without Security Council authorisation.” In other words, R2P is a
kind of humanitarian cover under which the U.S. can act unilaterally to protect its own imperial interests. This, of
course, violates the democratic __principle of self-determination_________ and __pose serious challenge ___ to
international order.
3. __An apparent contradiction______ that the U.S. only intervenes when it is strategically convenient, and not when
it is necessary to save human life. For example, when Tamils were being massacred in Sri Lanka, the U.S. did
nothing; in contrast, NATO bombed Kosovo for months in 1999 during its ‘humanitarian’ mission. This was done
without a UN Security Council vote, making it an illegal intervention of a sovereign state. The U.S. made no
attempt to ____generate consensus________________ on whether to intervene, except, of course, among its allies.
