Introduction
Indian Centre for UN Peace
Keeping (CUNPK) was established and nurtured by the USI for 12 years in its
premises. Consequently, CUNPK bloomed
into a regional node of excellence on UN diplomacy and became a full-fledged
unit of the Indian Army.
The USI is a founder member
of UN related initiatives such as the ‘Challenges Forum’ and Responsibility to
Protect (R2P) since 1986. USI regularly collaborates with Norwegian Institute
of International Affairs (NUPI), Effectiveness of Peace Operations (EPON) and
Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
