✅Gs-2- IR- Indian ocean region-Effect of Policies and Politics of Developed and Developing Countries on India’s Interests: India- Maldives
🅾️Context :The influence of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and its implications for India’s security and strategic interests. China's Geo-Encirclement and string of pearls theory and What is the Necklace of Diamonds Strategy to counter china?- Click here
➡️My conclusion on this issue ( you can use in mains/Interview) : the revocation of the hydrographic survey MoU by the Maldives must be seen not as an isolated incident but as a part of the greater strategic narrative in the IOR, where India must reassess and recalibrate its diplomatic and security approaches. She should ensure that she remains a preferred partner while respecting the sovereignty and choices of its neighbors.

✅Gs-2 : IR
🅾️The need for an international law
➡️This is a very niche topic more relevant for PSIR students than strictly for GS- but let me try to simplify things.
🅾️Context : Why do we need law at global level?- because international law shapes behaviors and policies
🅾️Issue : International law lacks a global police force, which hampers its enforceability. Despite the establishment of international courts, enforcement remains an issue. Other issue is even if we enforce, are we brave enough in holding powerful entities accountable? international law has a role in managing power dynamics and preventing abuses.
🅾️Conclusion : despite its imperfections, international law is essential and the world would be worse without it.

⚡️Mains question : Role of the UN: Are UN mechanisms effective in resolving complex conflicts with powerful players involved? What alternative approaches could be explored?
⚠️ISSUES
1. International Law vs. Realpolitik- UN Security Council resolutions are legally binding on member states (including Israel and Palestine). However, the Council has limited power to enforce these resolutions. Powerful nations within the Council (like the US) can block or weaken action, undermining international law.
2. The Limitations of the Resolution: The resolution focuses on humanitarian aid, not core issues fueling the conflict. Israel may use loopholes in the wording to continue restricting aid access.
