Abstract

In recent years peacekeeping issues have undergone a significant re-examination from the normative point of view as well as at an operational level. This on-going reassessment has inspired a dynamic public debate and a rich amount of literature. Built on a comparison between the first involvement in the Congo through the United Nations Operation in the Congo (ONUC) in the early 1960s and today’s participation in the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), this article looks at India’s role in United Nations peacekeeping operations (UNPKO) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) from an historical perspective.
