Nairobi - The Peacekeepers of United Nations has become tougher in its action as regards to the killing in Rwanda in 1994 and also on the failure of mission in Bosnia and Somalia.

Though the matter has been pending for over a long time, the Security Council has now adopted the notion of "robust peacekeeping" and rejected the idea the simple presence of the blue-helmeted soldiers, which helps subdue combat. 

According to Marc Lacey of New York Times, it is most obvious in Congo, which commands by far the largest deployment of United Nations troops in the world.

Peacekeepers in armored personnel carriers, facing enemy sniper attacks as they lumber through rugged dirt paths in the eastern Ituri region, are returning fire. Attack helicopters swoop down over the trees in search of tribal fighters.

 And peacekeepers are surrounding villages in militia strongholds and searching hut by hut for guns.

"The ghost of Rwanda lies very heavily over how the U.N. and the Security Council have chosen to deal with Ituri," said David Harland, a top official at the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations in New York.
