  • International
    • • May - 30 INTERNATIONAL Palestine at World bodies The Palestinians have joined two UN agencies and the global convention to halt the spread of chemical weapons. Palestinians had joined the Geneva-based UN trade organization UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) Vienna-based industrial development agency UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization) and the chemical weapons convention or Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). At the United Nations, the Palestinians have the status of a non-member observer state that allows them to seek membership of agencies and become a party to international treaties. The move will raise the Palestinian profile in international diplomacy and comes amid a rift with the administration of President Donald Trump over its decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The OPCW, UNCTAD, and UNIDO rely on voluntary contributions from UN member-states to fund its activities as well as its regular budget. The OPCW announced in The Hague earlier that the state of Palestine will become the 193rd state to join the chemical weapons convention. • • Only four countries — Israel, Egypt, North Korea and South Sudan — have yet to ratify the chemical weapons convention, which aims to eliminate an entire category of weapons of mass destruction. In 2012, the United Nations upgraded the Palestinians to a non-member observer state. Interpol, the International Criminal Court, UNESCO, and now the OPCW all refer to the Palestinian territories as a state. U.S. made F-35 stealth fighter in combat Israel is the first country to have used the U.S.-made F-35 stealth fighter in combat.

  • Getting India's Military Convergence Formula Right
    Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2021-07-26 GETTING INDIA’S MILITARY CONVERGENCE FORMULA RIGHT Relevant for: Science & Technology | Topic: Defence related developments The Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat’s recent description of the Indian Air Force (IAF) as a supporting arm — in an interview on July 2 — and the IAF chief Air Chief Marshal R.K.S. Bhadauria’s rebuttal, is the newest bump in the turbulent journey marking the reorganisation process of the armed forces. Unfortunately, this bump, probably caused by misinterpretation of an oversimplification by the Chief of Defence Staff, comes just when the process appears to be touching down after being airborne for long. Whatever the cause, the differences do not speak well of the intellectual underpinnings of the reorganisation process. Is there a problem with air power? What about the IAF warning against splitting it into ‘penny packets’? Is air power an adjunct? Armies and navies will see air power as an adjunct, history being the reason. Analysing the experience of the United States, the greatest exponent of air power in history, the air power theorist Tami Davis Biddle wrote in 2019 that ‘aerial bombing cannot control the ground. It is fundamentally a coercive activity in which an attacker seeks to structure the enemy’s incentives — using threats and actions to shape and constrain the enemy’s options, both perceived and real. It is an important and much-utilized military instrument for both deterrence and compellence.
