Answer: C
Notes:

Explanation:

Article 51 of the Constitution of India lists the Directive Principles of State Policy, which are guidelines for the government on how to promote the welfare of the people. One of the Directive Principles is to promote international peace and security. This can be done by:

  • Encouraging settlement of international disputes by arbitration
  • Fostering respect for international law
  • Cooperating with other nations for the promotion of world peace
  • The use of UN peacekeeping forces is not mentioned in Article 51. This is because the UN peacekeeping forces are not a part of the Indian government. They are a multinational force that is deployed by the UN Security Council to help resolve international disputes.
