This paper discusses the selective involvement of India in international peace processes in the Kashmir conflict as compared and contrasted to international accountability in Gaza Strip. The paper is titled Board of Peace: Selective Engagement with Global Peace Mechanisms and evaluates how India and other countries have resisted third-party mediation, monitoring, or institutional supervision in Kashmir even though the country is actively involved in global peacekeeping. The study places the Indian position in the context of sovereignty-focused diplomacy, postcolonial integration, and nationalism based on security. The three major arguments underpinning the reasons why India has consistently opposed external intervention, especially by the United Nations, are constitutional incorporation of Jammu and Kashmir, the issue of territory integrity, and strategic reasons pertaining to Pakistan. In contrast, the government of Gaza is marked by a wide multilateral involvement and humanitarian surveillance. The comparative analysis highlights the structural asymmetries in international peace processes, which indicates the non-alignment doctrine of India and the asymmetrical relation in Gaza. This paper adds to arguments about sovereignty, humanitarian responsibility and international governance.
