I should have asked: how many soldiers are working for the UN as peace keepers all over the worls by now?

The UN doesn't have its own military. So there are no peacekeepers in the UN.
When the UN needs soldiers for peace-keeping missions, the member nations supply them from their own militaries.

Well, there are countries like Mexico, part of the security counsel, and yet, there are not Mexican troops being sent as peace keepers, even though the Mexican Army has over 2 million men.
I do not know how many they are, I just point out where some could be found.

Do you mean the child raping peacekeepers, the female raping peacekeepers or the peacekeepers who hide in their barracks while civilians get slaughtered?
The UN has no troops. The peacekeepers are military units volunteered to peacekeeping duties by member nations of the UN. So, it has as many as it is given.

Peace Keepers are only taken from their nations when they are needed for a task force.
