    Why dosen't the UN just kill/arrest these fools?
    They violate a shitload of human rights and other laws.

    Because the UN is the most incompetent piece of shit ever.
    Takes FOREVER to intervene when a nation is bathing itself in blood, think Sri Lanka. And when it does, its soldiers end up committing rape, prostitution, getting AIDs, ransacking village.

    It's ridiculous.

    Agreed.
    The Bosnian war is another great example of UN incompetence.
    Can you give a confirming link, that seems a bit of an exaggeration.

    Ya it was a bit of an exaggeration. But the UN interventions in West Africa had a ton of that kind of stuff.

    I wont find a link though. Too much work. So you can take what I'm saying with a grain of salt if you like. I don't feel very strongly about the UN either way.

    Actually the forces they send are mostly peacekeepers, that would mean: Only fire if fired upon and always stay defensive.

    The only reason the UN is/seems incompetent is because the members of the security council vetoes anything useful in an attempt to block their supposed enemies(US+FRA+UK vs. Russia vs. China)
    Libya is a good example of how the UN should work.

    Libya was a bad example they wen't against the sovereignty of another country, aided a side in a civil war instead of doing the main humanitarian mission, the U.N overstepped there bounds in Libya by a mile.
