Situation 3:Discussion after the accident in MONUSCO

Maj.Tomas:Have you heard of that?

Cpt.Li:Yes?

Maj.Tomas:Some armed rebels attacked the APC.One Indian soldier was killed.

Cpt.Li:It was a patrol team on the way back to Beni.The APC was stopped by an RPG in the middle of the way.

Maj.Tomas:One was KIA and another five were WIA.The mission is getting harder and harder.

Cpt.Li:MONUSCO is the only mission under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter.It has different ROE.FIB can actively neutralize the AG for self-defense or POC according to the SC resolution.

Maj.Tomas:Yes.It is a major change from Chapter 6 to Chapter 7.Consent,impartiality,non-use of force except in self-defense and defense of mandate,these three capstone principles will see many new challenges in DRC.

Cpt.Li:I was told that the same story happened in South Sudan,too.

Maj.Tomas:In traditional peacekeeping missions,the UN forces just observe,monitor,supervise and report.But now all TCCs have to take the new situations into their considerations.

Cpt.Li:India is one of the top 4 TCCs for UN peacekeeping operations.The other three members Ethiopia,Rwanda and Bangladesh are also following the situation now.
