A retired Indian Army lieutenant general is part of a 14-member high-level panel appointed by United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon to assess the current and future needs of the world body's peacekeeping architecture.

Lieutenant General Abhijit Guha is currently a member of the United Nations department of peacekeeping operations/ department of field support panel of experts on technology.

Prior to this, Guha served as the first interim director of the office for peacekeeping strategic partnerships and before that as the deputy military advisor on the department of peacekeeping operations.

UN Secretary-General Ban said the new blue ribbon high-level independent panel on peace operations would "draw together individuals with a wide range of experience and expertise," and be chaired by Nobel laureate and journalist Jose Ramos-Horta of Timor-Leste.
