During Indonesia’s two-year stint on the United Nation’s Security Council (2019–2020), the country made significant gains not just in promoting peacekeeping operations but in augmenting the role of female peacekeepers with the passing of Indonesian-sponsored resolution 2538.
Since its first first peacekeeping deployment of 559 infantry personnel to Sinai in 1957, Indonesia’s commitment to UN peace missions has met many of the country’s foreign and defence policy objectives as well as domestic interests.
Most notably, these operations have strengthened Indonesia’s constitutionally mandated obligation to be a ‘free and active’ contributor to global peace and stability. Its participation has garnered reputational dividends for its military, the Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI), and police, the Kepolisian Republik Indonesia (POLRI).
