Humanitarian crises in Syria since March, 2011 have cost more than 90.000 people died and millions forced to be refugee to Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. President Bashar al-Assad who stayed in power since 2000 is considered fully responsible for that loss. International society from Arab League, UN and other organizations condemn Assad decision to declare military confrontation to fight opposition group. Humanitarian crises in Syria are categorized as a situation where Responsibility to Protect is applied. Possible means such as peace talk, cut diplomatic ties, economic sanction have been proposed by international society to press Assad regime but no significant improvement in terms of human protection yet. This condition lead into further questions how does Responsibility to Protect implementation in Syria and why it is not well implemented? This mini thesis aimed to describe Responsibility to Protect implementation in Syria and analyze why Responsibility to Protect in Syria is not well-implemented through political compliance theories: logic of consequences and logic of appropriateness. The result of this mini thesis shows that Responsibility to Protect is implemented in Syria through diplomatic, economic, security and humanitarian space means. But Assad compliance to Responsibility to Protect is relatively low since no credible international consequences to press government to abide with it and also norm internalization process is fail.
