#Lecturette
Recently India has increased its presence of army in the J&K UT due to an increase in cross border terrorism and militancy. So here is a lecturette on AFSPA.
The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA)
The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) is a law in India that grants special powers to the armed forces in "disturbed areas" to maintain public order. Enacted in 1958, AFSPA has been applied in regions such as Jammu and Kashmir, and the northeastern states including Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur.
✓Key Provisions of AFSPA
1.Declaration of Disturbed Areas: The act allows the central or state government to declare an area as "disturbed" based on conditions such as ethnic violence, terrorist activities, or insurgencies.
2.Special Powers to Armed Forces:
- Arrest Without Warrant: Security forces can arrest anyone without a warrant who has committed or is suspected of having committed a cognizable offense.
- Search and Seizure: They can conduct searches without warrants and seize any property that might be used against the armed forces or is suspected to be stolen.
- Use of Force: Forces can use force, even to the extent of causing death, against any person acting in contravention of the law.
3.Legal Immunity: Armed forces personnel have legal immunity for their actions under AFSPA. No prosecution, suit, or other legal proceedings can be initiated without the prior sanction of the central government.
✓Justifications for AFSPA
1. Counter-Insurgency: It is argued that AFSPA is necessary for the military to effectively combat insurgencies and maintain national security.
2.Support for Civil Administration: The act provides support to civil authorities in maintaining law and order in areas where they are unable to do so.
Criticisms of AFSPA
1.Human Rights Violations: There are numerous reports of human rights abuses, including extrajudicial killings, torture, and sexual violence by armed forces personnel under the cover of AFSPA.
2.Lack of Accountability: The act's provisions for legal immunity often lead to a lack of accountability for violations committed by security forces.
3.Psychological Impact: The presence of armed forces and the implementation of AFSPA can lead to a climate of fear and repression among the civilian population.
4.Prolonged Use: Critics argue that AFSPA has been used as a long-term solution rather than a temporary measure, leading to prolonged military presence and disruption of normal life in affected regions.
✓Calls for Repeal and Reforms
1.Justice Jeevan Reddy Committee: In 2005, this committee recommended the repeal of AFSPA, suggesting it had become a symbol of oppression.
2.International Pressure: Various international human rights organizations, including the United Nations, have urged the Indian government to repeal or amend the act.
3.Political and Civil Movements: There have been numerous protests, hunger strikes (notably by Irom Sharmila), and calls from political leaders and civil society for the act's repeal.
✓Conclusion
AFSPA remains a contentious issue in India, balancing the need for security with the imperative to uphold human rights. While its defenders see it as essential for maintaining order in troubled regions, its critics argue for its repeal or significant reform to ensure greater accountability and protection of human rights.

India's Case for a Permanent Seat at the United Nations Security Council
✓Introduction:
India has been advocating for a permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for several decades. The UNSC, one of the six principal organs of the United Nations, is responsible for maintaining international peace and security. It has five permanent members (P5) with veto power: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China.
✓Historical Context:
- India was one of the founding members of the United Nations in 1945.
- Since then, it has been actively participating in UN peacekeeping missions, contributing significantly in terms of personnel and resources.
✓Rationale for India's Claim:
1. Population and Democracy:
- India is the world’s most populous democracy with over 1.4 billion people.
- As a democratic nation, India represents a large segment of the global population, advocating for democratic values and principles on the international stage.
2. Economic Power:
- India is one of the fastest-growing major economies, currently ranking as the world’s fifth-largest economy by nominal GDP.
- Its economic growth enhances its ability to contribute to global economic stability and development.
3. Military Strength:
- India possesses one of the largest and most capable armed forces in the world.
- It is a nuclear-armed state with significant strategic and conventional military capabilities.
4. Global Contributions:
- India has been a major contributor to UN peacekeeping missions, with over 200,000 Indian troops having served in 49 of the 71 UN peacekeeping missions established around the world.
- It is committed to addressing global challenges such as climate change, terrorism, and sustainable development.
5. Geopolitical Influence:
- India plays a crucial role in South Asian geopolitics and has significant influence in various international forums such as BRICS, G20, and the Commonwealth.
- It has strong diplomatic ties with major global powers and emerging economies.
6. Support for Reforms:
- India advocates for a more representative and inclusive UNSC that reflects the contemporary geopolitical realities.
- It has garnered support from several countries, including permanent UNSC members like the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Russia.
✓Challenges and Opposition:
1. Resistance from Current Permanent Members:
- While some P5 members support India’s bid, others, particularly China, have been non-committal or opposed due to regional rivalries and strategic considerations.
2. Regional Rivalries:
- Pakistan, India’s neighbor and regional rival, opposes India’s inclusion and campaigns against its permanent membership.
3. Complexities of UNSC Reform:
- Any change to the composition of the UNSC requires a two-thirds majority in the General Assembly and the concurrence of the P5, making the process highly complex and politically sensitive.
✓Conclusion:
India’s quest for a permanent seat at the UNSC is driven by its significant contributions to global peace, security, and development, along with its status as a major democracy and economic power. While there are substantial challenges to achieving this goal, India continues to build its case through diplomatic efforts and by contributing to global governance. Reforming the UNSC to include India and other emerging powers could enhance the legitimacy and effectiveness of the Council in addressing contemporary global challenges.
