UNITED NATIONS — The United States has announced its support for a set of principles that give a green light for U.N. peacekeeping troops and police to use force to protect civilians in armed conflicts.
U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power told a high-level U.N. meeting Wednesday focusing on the responsibility to protect civilians that the United States was "proud" and "humbled" to join 28 other countries that have pledged to abide by the 18 pledges.
U.N. peacekeepers from these 29 countries are now required to act in cases where civilians are in danger.
>"The Kigali Principles are designed to make sure that civilians are not abandoned by the international community again," she said, recalling how U.N. peacekeepers left Rwanda before the 1994 genocide and Srebrenica before the 1995 massacre.

This has more to do with letting UN soldiers in Sudan shooting back when militias attack refugee camps there kr UN bases etc
This still cant be used to bring UN forces into somewhere like Syria without the UNSC

Nice bait. All this does is give Peacekeepers (see; not peace enforcers) the ability to intervene to save civilians.
Peace keepers have always had a "Look the other way" policy. They only existed as a way to make the UN seem like it had power while have ROEs of "You just can't."
This measure today just means the PKs in places like the Brazilian favelas can save people who are actively being threatened. Keep in mind that PKs are contributed by nations voluntarily, and their current lack of ROEs are the reason things like Rwanda got so out of control.
There's nothing wrong with giving PKs the opportunity to save someone whose life is in danger. If they're going to be placed in shitholes they might as well at least have the opportunity to use those guns of theirs for more than just looking tough.
