The Auxiliary Chamber is thrilled to present part two of its mini-series on United Nations Peacekeepers with Suraj Pratim Saikia. Today, we are talking about: 'Keeping the Peace, What is the role of UN Peacekeepers in the 21st Century?' In today’s brilliant episode, we discuss notably how peacekeeping has evolved over time, the modern mission and applications, how effective peacekeepers are, and explore the UN financial liquidity crisis and its impact on future and current peacekeeping missions. Suraj is an Indian qualified lawyer with an Advanced LL.M. in Public International Law from Leiden University. Specialising in Peacekeeping, Peacebuilding, International Organisations and Armed Conflict, his past work experiences include working with India’s National Security University, alongside various Ministries of the Government of India, the International Law Commission, and most recently with the United Nations’ Department of Peace Operations in New York. Keeping with his love for international organisations, he is also an Assistant Editor with the International Organisations Law Review Journal, published by Brill.
