Bad peacekeepers should be imprisoned. And a special place in hell is reserved for people who cover up abuse. That said, "what they're known for" may say more about the controversy-obsessed nature of media that anything. "Peacekeepers keep peace" will not sell, will it? And there are of course certain groups who would rather all authority be removed from the UN so they can operate freely.

Snark aside, I find it deeply fascinating just how broad a benefit of the doubt UN peacekeepers get, compared to anything that has to do with the US military, or, heaven forbid it, Blackwater. Especially considering that most of what we hear about those organisations is filtered through the very same "controversy-obsessed" media.

Very hard. \s
