Right, that's the crux of it. All these other comments saying "[actors] subject to [entity] also did bad things" miss the point. Immunity is supposed to only apply to acts performed in their official capacity, but it in practice it has often been applied much more broadly than that. In fairness to the UN, it's not an easy problem to solve: who's going to volunteer to act as a peacekeeper in a place where if the wrong faction ultimately prevails, you will be subject to the local jurisdiction and all of the corruption that may entail? Unlike military service, UN peacekeepers do not have the same degree of national backing to rely on when things go south.
