here's ur answer..
Explanation:
Role of India in United Nations :-
●Original member of The League Of Nations:
The League Of Nations was formed in 1920, with an objective to promote unity among countries to prevent the possibility of future war. Although only self-governing countries were considered members, an exception was made for India. The underlying reason for the same was its significant contribution to Allied forces in WWI.
●One of the first countries in signing various declarations:
India was an active member in drafting the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, which highlighted the need for gender equality. Due to India’s efforts the words ‘all men are created equal’ were changed to ‘all men and women are created equal’. India was one of the earliest signatories when Convention on Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination was adopted and was most outspoken against racial discrimination in South Africa.
●Representation of developing countries:
India strengthened its position in the UNO as an advocate to present the needs and aspirations of the developing countries and to promote international cooperation. This was the result of the formation of ‘Non-Aligned Movement‘ and ‘G-77‘, in which India played a major role.
●Major participant of UN peace keeping missions:
India has completed 70 years in 2018 in serving UN peace keeping missions. It has deployed police personnel in Korea, Egypt and Congo in earlier years and in Somalia, Angola and Rwanda in recent years, and more recently in Haiti for maintaining harmony. Starting its participation from 1950 in Korea to being instrumental in bringing peace in Liberia through first ever all female force, India has participated in more than 40 such missions.
●Member of G-4:
The G-4 is the group of countries which are seeking permanent representation in United Nations. These countries include Brazil, Germany and Japan along with India. India has made claims for the same on account of it being the 2nd largest populated country and the world’s largest liberal democracy. Another major reason would be India’s contribution to the peace keeping missions.
●Restructuring and Expansion of UNSC:
India has worked with like-minded countries to expand the permanent membership in UNSC, which is in response to the arguable geo-political structure of the Security Council after WWII. The Government of India has strongly put forward India case and The Russian Federation, United States, United Kingdom and France are in support for India in getting a permanent seat.
