Bangladesh as Leading UN Peacekeeper: an Arduous Journey

22 Jun 2023, 15:00

Description

Soon after Bangladesh started to take part in the illustrious mission of UN Peacekeeping, it became actively engaged particularly in the Post-Cold war with the rising number of conflicts and mission Bangladesh also lend her helping hands to the needy UN. The top five peacekeepers that provide blue helmets and risking their men and women in uniform to send in the conflict areas are mostly from the southern countries which are India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Ethiopia etc. The present problem of the financial crisis becomes difficult for the developing world to keep sending troops without regular fiscal assistance. Against this backdrop, the great powers and the western countries need to reassess their commitment to financial aid to circumvent this problem. The paper wants to scrutinise how and what stimulates Bangladesh to have been able to robustly contribute in such a high profile amid the internal shakiness at home. The problem within the country is deemed considered contrasting to such huge support which is notably laudable. Bangladesh notwithstanding its economic odds continues to sacrifice its Troops in the conflict zones and continue to work for keeping the peace when required. it is equally important for the West and Big Powers to be steady with their financial onuses towards the mandated missions. Thus far the unsullied functioning of the missions has to be meted out with pragmatically through a well-adjusted modus operandi.
