United Nations, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar launched India\u2019s campaign for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for the 2028\u201329 term, outlining New Delhi\u2019s vision for a more representative, effective and future-ready global order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the event, Jaishankar stressed that the world is facing unprecedented challenges and called for stronger leadership from the United Nations and its principal security body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are witnessing levels of conflict, violence and instability that threaten even those who may be far away,\u201d Jaishankar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo address this complexity, the UN must take the lead and the Security Council must show the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlighting India\u2019s broader vision for global governance, he added, \u201cAs we contemplate the global order, India\u2019s focus will be on working for a secure, peaceful and equitable world. A world where the voice of the Global South is heard in equal measure. A world where peacekeeping is ready for contemporary and future challenges, a world where multilateralism reflects contemporary realities and provides effective solutions, not remain on high standards, a world where the promise of technologies is fulfilled…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the launch, Jaishankar shared details of India\u2019s campaign on X, saying, \u201cPleased to launch India\u2019s campaign for the UN Security Council 2028\u201329.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said India\u2019s approach would be rooted in SHANTI \u2014 Securing Holistic Advancement through Norms, Trust and Integrity \u2014 and would focus on strengthening the voice of the Global South in matters relating to international peace and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said India\u2019s approach would be guided by dialogue, cooperation and efforts to bridge differences among nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister also outlined India\u2019s commitment to building a future-ready UN peacekeeping framework that is better equipped, technologically enabled, realistically mandated and focused on core objectives. He said India would continue to champion the Women, Peace and Security agenda and support a greater role for women peacekeepers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On emerging technologies, Jaishankar said India would promote a human-centric vision of artificial intelligence anchored in inclusivity, security, and the public good, while working to counter the misuse of AI and the threats it could pose to international peace and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further said India would prioritise promoting a free, open and rules-based maritime order in accordance with international law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Ensuring the safe and unimpeded flow of maritime commerce, combating piracy, safeguarding seafarers and supporting humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) missions would remain key priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaishankar also underlined the need for sustained efforts to counter terror financing and called for a transparent sanctions regime based on objective and evidence-based proposals for listing terrorist groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concluding his message, the External Affairs Minister reiterated that \u201ca reformed, representative and results-driven Security Council needs a voice of the Global South at the table,\u201d presenting India\u2019s UNSC campaign as one aimed at making global governance more inclusive and responsive to contemporary challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
