Indian Institute of Martial Arts®.(IIMA)™ Director: Prof.Dr.Dibendu Nag . INDIAN BOARD OF MARTIAL ARTS© {I.B.M.A} 
Peace, Security and Diplomacy Unit
Background
UNITAR’s strategic plan envisaged the creation of three units comprising training activities according to thematic clusters. The Peace, Security and Diplomacy Unit constitutes one of these three units and incorporates four of the Institute’s Programmes.Objectives
The Unit addresses the four thematic areas listed below, with a view to enhance the capacity of Member States to support the United Nations in meeting its goals and objectives in the areas of peace, security and diplomacy.Activities
- International Law
International law training activities strive to actively promote a better knowledge of international law among law practitioners of Member States with a view to enhance the respect for international law and to assist in bringing about a better application of international legal instruments. A specific focus has been placed on the teaching of international environmental law in order to assist Member States in the implementation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements.
- Multilateral Diplomacy
The Institute's projects and activities in the field of multilateral diplomacy focus on raising awareness and developing knowledge, skills and expertise in view of strengthening the capacity of diplomats and other government officers to perform effectively in the multilateral working environment.
- Peacemaking and Conflict Prevention
Ever since the Charter resolved to "save succeeding generations from the scourge of war", the UN has strived to develop more effective methods for achieving this important and challenging goal. UNITAR addresses these important goals by providing advanced training in conflict analysis, negotiation and mediation skills.
- Peacekeeping Training
Newly added to UNITAR’s list of leading-edge training programmes, the Peacekeeping Training Programme (PTP) offers innovative learning opportunities to prepare prospective civilian, military and police personnel to serve in peacekeeping missions around the world.
Content and Methodology
The activities conducted by the Unit’s programmes include the organization of face-to-face training activities such as skills-development workshops, awareness-raising and orientation briefings, knowledge-learning and -sharing seminars, study visits and fellowship programmes; such type of training and capacity development initiatives represent the vast majority of activities conducted by the Unit.A range of training methodologies is utilized with a view to increase the outreach of the Unit’s training activities. Options for conducting correspondence instruction and e-Learning have been explored and respective opportunities are being further developed.
Target Audience
Beneficiaries of the training activities offered by the Unit include diplomats, government officials, staff of regional organizations, academics, legal professionals from the public and private sector, judges, magistrates, NGO representatives, indigenous peoples’ representatives, peacekeepers, police, and humanitarian workers world-wide as well as senior UN staff.UNITED NATION INSTITUTE FOR TRAINING AND RESEARCH. unitar

INDIAN BOARD OF MARTIAL ARTS. (IBMA)
Incorporated under XXVI of Government of West Bengal, Based on the Central Act XXI of 1860, Literary & Scientific Institutions Act, 1854 Affiliated to the UNITED NATIONS PEACE UNIVERSITY established under U.N.Resolution No. 35/55/5/XII/80 which is duly recognised by the Govt. of India.
As an autonomous body within the United Nations system, UNITAR is governed by a Board of Trustees and is headed by an Executive Director. The Institute is supported by voluntary contributions from governments, intergovernmental organizations, foundations, and other non-governmental sources.
Many UN entities offer training on themes of relevance to their respective mandates. None of them, however, offers the expertise on how best to deliver this training, how best to capture and retain knowledge and how best to build upon it. UNITAR is therefore concentrating on the means of delivering adult training and professional learning; how to monitor and evaluate their impact on behaviour; and how to capitalize on capacity development.
In that vein, a set of strategic priorities was formulated in view of making UNITAR the calling card of the United Nations system when it comes to knowledge transfer through training on cutting edge issues, adult learning methodologies and professional training.
In addition, UNITAR conducts research on knowledge systems to explore innovative and modern approaches for high-quality training, with the goal to be a centre of excellence, measured by international standards. By doing so, the work of the Institute is benefiting to our other partners and to the entire United Nations system in its drive towards a more integrated delivery framework.
UNITAR’s research activities are focused on knowledge systems and their practical application on a variety of learning settings. Knowledge systems are defined as the combination of methodologies, tools and skills required to build, strengthen, use and retain capacity. They take into account capacity development requirements and allow the Institute to focus its interventions on methodologies that are particularly relevant for lifelong learning.
Lifelong learning acknowledges the use of techniques combining informal with more formal instructional learning activities that develop knowledge, skills and attributes linked to particular forms of employment. It is increasingly demand driven, learner centred, cross-cultural, professionally certified, and socially recognized.
As today's knowledge systems are challenged to use new technologies, the Research Department develops innovative approaches to optimize the benefit offered by ICT, such as integrated satellite-based solutions and computing sciences. In that way, the Research Department supports the Institute’s training activities through the provision of learning environments that utilize modern methods, pedagogies, and tools, including instructional technology, knowledge management structures, and instructional design frameworks to respond to the needs of adult learners. The major goal is to facilitate the increase, efficiency and outreach of the Institute’s capacity development activities.

The Institute
The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) is making concrete contributions to developing the capacities of tens of thousands of people around the world. Since its inception in 1965, UNITAR has built sustainable partnerships acquiring unique expertise and accumulating experience and knowledge to fulfil its mandate. These accomplishments have enabled UNITAR to respond to the growing demand from UN Member States for training for capacity development in the fields of Environment; Peace, Security and Diplomacy; and Governance.As an autonomous body within the United Nations system, UNITAR is governed by a Board of Trustees and is headed by an Executive Director. The Institute is supported by voluntary contributions from governments, intergovernmental organizations, foundations, and other non-governmental sources.
A forward-looking vision
A transformation process was initiated in 2007 with the goal of upgrading the institutional structure and enabling the Institute to increase its future contribution towards addressing emerging training and capacity development needs of beneficiaries.Many UN entities offer training on themes of relevance to their respective mandates. None of them, however, offers the expertise on how best to deliver this training, how best to capture and retain knowledge and how best to build upon it.
