India hosts 2-day conference on women peacekeepers from 'Global South'
Business Standard
|February 27, 2025
India hosted a two-day conference on women peacekeepers from the “Global South” in New Delhi earlier this week.
India and 34 countries in the geography that contribute troops to the United Nations participated in the discussions, which ranged from the challenges peacekeeping faces amid geopolitical uncertainties to the prevention of sexual misconduct during missions-an issue the UN has grappled with for long.
The UN has 11 ongoing peacekeeping operations on three continents. The rules of engagement for the troops deployed are consent of the parties involved in a conflict, “impartiality” and the non-use of force unless in self-defence or in defence of the mandate, under authorization of the UN Security Council. The peacekeepers are mostly serving military or police personnel.
Business Standard spoke to three foreign military attendees at the India conference who have been on UN peacekeeping missions.
