Because there are assholes, idiots, and yes, even pedophiles everywhere, unfortunately. I think the "peacekeepers" who raped little kids should be shot.
Funny, though, how the rape of that poor Iraqi girl by Americans got so much media coverage, yet the UN's baby raping peacekeepers...not so much.

I don't know. I cannot voice an opinion because I have not been there. In a war torn country where stress is running mile high, some things are possible. I don't condone those things, however when tension is high, people do things they would have never done under normal circumstances. In order to judge them rationally you need to have been there and walked in their shoes.
We cannot forget that the insurgents use children and woman to carry out their dirty deeds like suicide bombings and also use them as shields. Think about being a soldier and a little boy comes up to you and then he tosses the granate and even kills himself. The same with a woman, whom you would trust.
So, don't pass judgment on those, let the courts do that.

There are persons who are born to be criminals. Thus, some peacekeepers abuse the people they are supposed to protect because they were given opportunities to do their dastardly acts. The remedy for this kind of irregularity is to strictly implement the psychological tests given to applicants to prevent them from becoming peacekeepers.

People are people. Why do husbands beat the wife or children they love? Most don't, just as most soldiers don't commit these crimes. But if you want some insight into your specific question, go to the library and check out the movie "Lawrence of Arabia".

Because they were bad people.
A better question might have been why did people give their lives to defend people they don't even know?
Please look at the positive things in life, otherwise you will end up in Journalism.

Problem of occupation. Away from their native land occupiers all too often behave miserably.

The only guess , would be that they weren't screened properly for the position they applied for. or someone covered- up their scandal- history.

They have a certain amount of power that they abuse...not everyone can handle power wisely, and sadly, many use it for their own rediculous ends.
