India Demands Justice for UN Peacekeepers: Calls for Greater Accountability
India has taken a strong stand for the safety and security of UN peacekeepers, demanding greater accountability for crimes committed against them. At a high-level meeting of the Group of Friends (GoF) at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on Tuesday, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador P. Harish, voiced India’s concerns and called for intensified international efforts to bring perpetrators to justice.
Lack of Accountability Emboldens Assailants, Threatens Peace Efforts
Ambassador Harish highlighted the grave consequences of impunity for attacks on peacekeepers. He argued that the lack of accountability emboldens those who target these brave individuals, ultimately undermining international peace and security. These attacks not only endanger the lives of peacekeepers but also weaken the effectiveness of peacekeeping missions worldwide.
India’s Call to Action: Protecting Those Who Protect Us
India’s call for greater accountability reflects a growing global concern over the safety of UN peacekeepers. The country’s firm stance underscores the importance of holding perpetrators responsible and strengthening mechanisms to prevent future attacks. This is crucial to ensuring the continued success of peacekeeping operations and maintaining global stability. India believes that protecting those who protect us is paramount to international peace.
