The Role of Non – Aligned Movement in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations

Abstract

Since the end of the cold war the number of peacekeeping operations has increased. The main reason is that the developing countries have seen greater instability due to increased religious and ethnic conflicts. Moreover ,it is a fact that the United Nations Peacekeeping operations are implemented within the territories of non-aligned countries. In this context a degree of consent of the host state remains a necessity. Hence ,the scholars argue that there is a scope for the non- aligned developing countries to play a burden sharing role in these operations and ensure their neutrality.
