Part of the Problem was the restrictive nature of the ROE's given out by the UN. I know for a fact that the commander of the UN troops there, a Canadian, was refused permision to raid an arms cache he knew was going to be used in the massacres. He was also refused permission to use force to stop the genocides, so all he could do was try to save the lives of his troops.
