I wonder what it would take for UN peacekeepers to get involved. How bad does the situation need to get?
You should familiarise yourself with the Rwandan Genocide for a good example of how useless they can be… I shudder just thinking about it…
UN peacekeepers famously did not get involved when the Serbs massacred Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in their own "safe zones". I don't know if there are counter examples since then that demonstrate peacekeepers actually keeping peace, but that was the worst situation imaginable, and they still didn't get involved and just let it happen.
