India co-chairs launch of UN initiative to support accountability for crimes against peacekeepers

 External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar on Thursday co-chaired the launch of the Group of Friends on Accountability for Crimes against UN Peacekeepers that will seek to promote accountability through policy approaches and technology usage.
“Co-chaired the launch of the Group of Friends on Accountability for Crimes against UN Peacekeepers. The Group of Friends launched today will seek to promote accountability through policy approaches and technology usage,” Jaishankar tweeted. Delivering his address, Jaishankar said UN Peacekeeping today has become more challenging than ever before.
“Today’s peacekeeper is not mandated to keep the peace but to take on robust mandates in extremely hostile conflict zones. The involvement of armed groups, terrorists and transnational organized crime has adversely impacted their operations,” he said.
He made these remarks at the ‘Launch of Group of Friends to promote Accountability for Crimes Against Peacekeepers’ in the Trusteeship Council. Along with India, contributing countries like Bangladesh, Egypt, France, Morocco and Nepal, participated as its co-chairs.
