Consider the following statements with regard to the UN Peacekeeping Operation: 1. The power to authorize a Peacekeeping Operation is exclusively vested with the General Assembly. 2. UN Peacekeeping Operations are deployed with the consent of the main parties to the conflict. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect: According to the UN Charter, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, and it is the body that authorizes the establishment of peacekeeping operations. The General Assembly does not have exclusive authority; it primarily handles the budget and financing of these operations.

Statement 2 is correct: UN Peacekeeping is guided by three basic principles: consent of the parties, impartiality, and non-use of force except in self-defence and defense of the mandate. Consent ensures that the parties to the conflict provide the necessary political and physical environment for the mission to carry out its tasks.

Therefore, only statement 2 is correct, making Option B the right answer.
