Peace
and Security
Dr. Priya Ranjan Trivedi staying at A 15, Paryavaran Complex,
New Delhi 110030 (INDIA), Mobile : +91-9818097247 has designed a Masterplan Paradigm for the overall
Peace and Security Management in the
following manner :
4.1 Principles
a) developing fair and just international relations with other
countries, peoples and regions;
b) building positive peace into our international security
relations;
c) resolving conflict rather than merely deterring war through
the maintenance of traditional military structures;
d) ensuring the greatest possible transparency in India’s
foreign and security relations, domestically and
internationally;
e) working with individuals and organisations which openly and
democratically work for such an objective at a local, regional,
national and international level;
f) working towards a framework of sustainable international
relations, strongly supported by nonviolent strategies of
international cooperation, conflict prevention, international
mediation and conflict resolution, and which recognise the
local, national and international dimensions of conflict in our
region;
g) capability for the foreseeable future, subject to eventual
regional-wide demilitarisation;
h) reforming the Indian defence forces to ensure that they are
trained and equipped for more sustainable national and
international security roles aimed at ensuring peace; and
i) invisaging an ecologically sustainable post nuclear "New
Intenational Political Order" on the matrix of Civilisational
Homes (like EU) superceding the present nation - state
arrangement.
4.2.1 Working towards Regional and Global Demilitarisation.
a) participate in global regime initiatives to monitor and
reduce the manufacture and export of biological, chemical and
nuclear weapons technologies;
b) support a global nuclear weapons Comprehensive Test Ban
Treaty (CTBT), with particular reference to nuclear weapons
testing in the Asia-Pacific region;
c) support global nuclear non-proliferation, and comprehensive
measures to dismantle all nuclear weapons and their target
systems, through convening a UN-sponsored International Peace
Conference on general nuclear disarmament;
d) support a global ban on the militarisation of space.
4.2.2 Combating the International Arms Trade and Provision of
Military Assistance.
a) ensure that India will not produce weaponry or components for
export;
b) compile a register of all dual-use (civilian-military)
technology which may be exported from India, and restrict the
trade with reference to a broad range of security considerations
(such as the human rights record of our trading partners);
c) encourage other states to phase out external military aid in
the Asia-Pacific region;
d) end arms trade fairs in India and coordinate with
neighbouring states on similar measures; and
e) establish a realistic, comprehensive register of the arms
trade in the Asia-Pacific region, and work to develop
alternative regional and UN-sponsored disarmament initiatives
with a capacity for binding verification.
4.2.3 Regional Confidence-building and Peace-building
a) develop regional security relations which build peace and
confidence, and work towards resolving conflicts before they
evolve into violent international disputes; and
b) recognise that the basis of regional peace and security is a
sustainable framework of human rights protection and promotion,
just and equitable regional trade arrangements, generous and
appropriate overseas aid programme and strong multinational
environmental safeguards; and
c) ensure that the Asia-Pacific states, and their constituent
peoples, have open access to dependable international legal
dispute mechanisms.
4.2.4 Regional Conflict-Prevention
a) the development of an inter-related set of global security
campaigns through the Ministries of Defence, Foreign Affairs and
Education;
b) effective diplomatic intervention in potential conflict
situations, through India’s network of regional diplomatic ties,
and through regional institutions and the UN where appropriate;
and
c) conflict-preventive peacekeeping deployments for interceding
in potential conflict situations, wherever appropriate, in the
form of monitors, police, aid and assistance personnel or
peacekeeping forces, with all-party support managed through
relevant regional organisations or the UN.
4.2.5 Linking Peacebuilding with Peacekeeping and Peacemaking
a) manage India’s foreign and security relations in ways which
recognise that peacebuilding and peacemaking are crucial
elements of any regional conflict management framework, and that
peacekeeping has the potential to operate at an interface
between the two;
b) develop an integrated strategy linking peacebuilding,
peacekeeping and peacemaking approaches to conflict management;
c) establish an appropriate peacekeeping strategy to be
developed both nationally and through the UN; and
d) respond to the urgent need to comprehensively develop
international peacemaking capabilities, both in new regional
institutions and through a reformed UN.
4.2.6 Sanctions Enforcement Action
a) are only conducted within a UN mandate;
b) are closely associated with an appropriate strategy of
conflict resolution; and
c) are rigorously enforced in order to achieve their goals as
rapidly as possible.
4.2.7 Military Enforcement Action
We will support a comprehensive
strategy of nonviolent conflict management as the most effective
means of promoting peace and security in the international
arena; in which military enforcement action is only seen as
appropriate in securing effective UN sanctions against states
which seriously violate international peace.
4.2.8 Establishing an Agency for Monitoring Demilitarisation
a) establish an Agency for Monitoring Demilitarisation.
• monitoring and/or coordinating regional arms control and
disarmament measures;
• monitoring and combating the arms trade;
• monitoring weapons testing and military exercises;
• coordinating regional arms conversion strategies;
and
b) develop a culture of nonviolent conflict management and peace
education throughout the world.
