Is the United Nations toothless in ending wars?
Context:
The United Nations (UN's) declining influence in conflict resolution is a threat to increasing Israel-Hamas conflict and India's role limitations.
Declining Influence of the UN
- Post-Cold War Power Dynamics: Major power differences have hindered the UN's effectiveness in conflict resolution.
- Limitations of the UNSC Structure: The UNSC's structure, with veto powers, limits its ability to address conflicts with conflicting national interests.
- Lack of Multilateral Framework: The shift to a multipolar world without a corresponding multilateral framework has led to an exercise of force.
Israel-Hamas Conflict Dynamics
- Netanyahu's Divisive leadership: The domestic political challenges contribute to the continuation of the conflict.
- Limited Arab Support: Limited sympathy for the Palestinian cause within Gulf Arab states and reluctance to accept Palestinian refugees.
- Conflict Resolution Efforts: The U.S. election adds complexity to finding a resolution, while the Abraham Accords' envisioned solution has unraveled.
India's Role and Interests
- Evolving Indian Foreign Policy: India's evolving foreign policy balances traditional positions with bilateral relationships with key countries.
- India's Limited Mediation Capacity: While India has provided aid and engaged in diplomacy, its capacity to mediate in the conflict is limited.
- West Asian Interests and Constraints: Recognizing India's interest in the West Asian region, its role is circumscribed by the complexities at play.
