>UN troops are simply troops rented by the UN from member countries. They are no less or better trained nor less corrupt than their fellow soldiers back home who are not wearing blue helmets. At least in my country (Finland), the troops who volunteer to UN duty get specific training for it. The training is not very long, but on the other hand, there is a selection process that means that by no means everyone theoretically eligible gets to go, so we can well argue that the troops in blue helmets are better trained (and much better paid) than the average conscript, and the process to select them also impacts who gets to go.
