Peacekeeping forces are rented by the UN from member countries. The UN pays the country supplying troops a set rate per soldier. The difference between what the soldier is paid and what the UN pays is profit for the donor country.
As a result most UN troops come from third-world nations. The low pay for the troops tend to result in the lax discipline and corruption that is endemic to UN peacekeeping operations.
These problems are why most successful peacekeeping operations are conducted by groups of nations operating independently of UN control. (Examples are the Balkans and Haiti before the UN took over.)

UN peace keepers are contributed from other countries militaries because the UN does not have a standing army. the united states isnt known to contribute troops under the UN's controll, but countries like pakastain, india, france, germany are more active in humanitarian missions like UN peace keeping.

Join the military. Military units are chosen based on the type and duration of the mission.
