Synopsis: <\/strong>India\u2019s mission of achieving its goals at the UNSC should have a clear plan and reveal its material and geopolitical confines.<\/p>\n

Introduction <\/strong><\/p>\n

India has got a two-year non-permanent period at the UNSC. But it is almost certain that India is not getting permanent membership of UNSC\u00a0 anytime soon. Thus, this opportunity should be viewed as a once in a decade opportunity to pursue the national interests of the country.<\/p>\n

What are the trends that will dominate UNSC?<\/strong><\/p>\n

New Delhi\u2019s entry into the UNSC coincides with the rise of the new world order. There is an absence of global leadership. The world is divided into rival blocs for narrow national interests.<\/p>\n

Currently, the relevance of the UNSC is in serious doubt, and<\/strong>\u00a0it is not able to do justice to its primary objective i.e. \u201cthe maintenance of international peace and security\u201d.<\/p>\n

Biden’s administration will be busy undoing the policies of the previous regime for some time. Thus, nothing much should be expected from US as of now.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s term at the UNSC comes at a time when its military rivalry with China is increasing.<\/strong> This has come to the UNSC table after china opposed the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) to be chaired by India in 2022.<\/p>\n

How will India\u2019s approach be in addressing its key issues at UNSC?<\/strong><\/p>\n
