    India dismayed at UN Security Council's lack of transparency
  • Calling the UN Security Council ineffective, India expressed dismay at the Council's lack of accountability and transparency in mandating peacekeeping operations.

    At the debate on peacekeeping operations, India's Asoke Mukerji said that the human costs of this "failing" by Council are evident in the rising casualties among peacekeepers and civilians.

    Mukerji called for prioritising an early reform of Security Council during the current session.

  • The UN has no standing army or police force of its own, and hence the member States are asked to contribute military and police personnel required for each operation.

    Peacekeepers wear their countries' uniform and are identified as UN Peacekeepers by a UN blue helmet or beret and a badge.

    Bangladesh, with 9,432 personnel is the largest contributor to the UN peacekeeping operations.

  • India is the largest overall troop contributor to UN peace operations, with over 185,000 troops that have served in 48 of the 69 UN missions. India currently has 7,794 personnel under UN's blue flag.
