Updated Aug 11, 2022
The UN announced on Wednesday that Rios will take over from Major General Jose Eladio Alcain of Uruguay the leadership of the 111-member operation based in both the South Asian countries.
Rios was the Argentine Joint Staff's General Director of Education, Training and Doctrine.
He has served in two peacekeeping operations, UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) and the UN Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) in the Middle East, and supervised UN demining operations in Angola.
His wide experience also includes stints as Argentina's military attache in Russia, Marines Infantry commander and Education Department Chief of the Navy Warfare School.
The UNMOGIP began operations in 1949 to monitor the ceasefire in Kashmir following a Security Council resolution the previous year.
While India allows UNMOGIP to operate in the country in accordance with the Security Council mandate, it maintains that the operation is redundant because under the Shimla Agreement of 1972 between late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Pakistan's then-President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto the Kashmir dispute is a bilateral issue with no role for third parties.
In 2014, India ordered the UNMOGIP out of the government building it was lent and it moved to a commercially leased facility.
The 111 personnel under Rios's command include 43 military experts from ten countries and 68 civilians.
