The problem with a UN combat troop deployment is the ROEs -- they're like a steel cage that has been crushed tight with a vise. With almost all such deployments, the uber-restrictive ROE ends up putting the UN troops in extreme danger, with nearly no ability to patrol constructively, spot-intervene if necessary, or do little more than sit in their barracks.
I have to believe the founders of the UN had a better idea of what to do with armed forces in the relief zone (And no, not simply kill everyone.)
