Which former Indian diplomat was re-elected to the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) in 2026 ?
Preeti Saran
Preeti Saran, a retired Indian Foreign Service officer who served as Secretary (East) in the Ministry of External Affairs, was re-elected to the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in 2026.
The CESCR is the body of eighteen independent experts that monitors how states parties implement the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Its members serve in their personal capacity rather than as government representatives, and they are elected by the states parties for four-year terms.
The other diplomats named have held different assignments: Ruchira Kamboj served as India's Permanent Representative to the UN in New York, while Sneha Dubey and Eenam Gambhir are known for their work as First Secretary at India's UN mission, not as CESCR members.
Hence, the answer is Preeti Saran.
