India seeks greater role for troops contributing countries in UN peacekeeping missions

India has sought enhanced role for troops contributing countries in the decision-making process of UN peacekeeping missions. In his address to the UN Security Council Working Group on Peacekeeping Reform, the Military Adviser at India's UN Mission, Colonel Sandeep Kapoor said the current system of excluding the troop and police-contributing countries (T/PCCs) from the process of framing the mandates is not sustainable. <br/><br/>He said the UN Security Council needs to revisit the way mandates are designed. Noting that today's peacekeeping operations pose complex challenges, Colonel Kapoor said that non-state actors have become the major players in many of these conflicts. India is one of the largest contributors of troops and police to UN peacekeeping missions.
