Passage 1
Recently, a new database was launched, (Unite Aware platform) to record crimes against UN peacekeepers and monitor progress in holding perpetrators accountable. It was launched by the Group of Friends (GOF) initiative in its second meeting to promote accountability for crimes against peacekeepers.
The database will serve as an online repository to monitor and address cases of malicious acts against Peacekeepers. It will facilitate comprehensive analysis and drive effective strategies for promoting accountability. It is hosted on the Unite Aware platform. It implements the provisions of UN Security Council resolution 2589 (adopted in August 2021) which called upon troops hosting member states to bring to justice perpetrators of all acts of violence against United Nations personnel.

Passage 2
The Supreme Court on April 5 stayed the operation of High Court judgment which struck down law regulating madrasas and ordered the transfer of their students to regular schools.
A three-judge Bench decided to freeze the implementation of the High Court judgment of March 22 in an interim order even as the state government said it had learnt to “accept” the High Court verdict.
The State claimed to have fought tooth and nail for the survival of the Act in the High Court. However, it has now reconciled to the High Court’s point of view that the Act threatened the principles of secularism and was violative of the Basic Structure of the Constitution.
