after a procedure of selection conducted by a committee set up by the DPKO at the
initial stage

agreement defined by the Terms and Conditions stated right at the time of
appointment, which would essentially include their accountability to the United
Nations in case of conflict of interests, and would establish their minimum term of
service to be not less than 2 years and maximum of 3 years ensuring the active
employment of interest and goodwill of participating personnel, after which they
should be reverted back to their national duties so as not to make the force
inefficient

specified amount of compensation in case, during their term of service they are
subjected to unfortunate accidents

country they are deployed after deployment

1) Ability to deploy into mission areas within 7 to 8 days of the security council
decision Which means the commander of the force and some of his staff
should be associated with the negotiation and decision making process In
many ways , practical military advice to the security council should be
forthcoming from these quarters in addition to inputs from the DPKO

have the capacity, the UN secretariat may well be asked to charter private
resources sources on payment
