What is it about?
This article explores how the nature of states will impact how they understand and implement the norms of the Responsibility to Protect and Counter-terrorism. Depending on the state's priorities they can modify these norms to a great extent so that they suit and support their own national interests. In some extreme cases, this can change the original intent of the norm itself.

Why is it important?
This article is important because it helps us understand why important international norms like the responsibility to protect and counter-terrorism appear so different depending on the countries where they are implemented.
Perspectives
This piece helps us understand that the nature of states is a major factor in how norms are implemented. This means that norms are vulnerable to manipulation and require additional clarity to avoid losing their original intent.
