I think the key to force security in the peacekeeping mission (whether UN of not) is that peace keeping forces should be heavily armed for infantry combat plus satellite and helicopter security. Peacekeeping forces should patrol within rocket and mortar range and put down organized resistance, even with deadly force. The rules of engagement should require PKs to protect the innocent and PK's from attack (contra Ruanda practice). PK should be serious business, and should be equivalent to armed occupation. There should be UN and HR courts and prosecutors to help maintain order and security. If such actions are considered not to be appropriate, then PK should not be inserted. Ruanda and Bosnia were inexcusable. The UN troops stood by and allowed themselves to be disarmed while innocent people were massacred. Never again!
