At a high-level meeting of the Group of Friends (GoF) on Tuesday, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador P. Harish, delivered a powerful message emphasizing the urgent need for greater accountability.

Lack of Accountability Emboldens Attacks, Threatens Global Peace

Ambassador Harish highlighted the grave consequences of failing to hold perpetrators accountable. He argued that the lack of consequences emboldens attackers and undermines the very foundation of international peacekeeping efforts. This, he emphasized, creates a dangerous cycle that threatens global peace and security.
