lightly armed trooops in blue berets standing bravely between fighting sides or wagging their fingers at monsters is worthless and a waste of lives.
The UN needs to have the ability to send in heavy firepower with well armed troops and air support to force the peace, or destroy these organizations and their ability to fight.
A multinational heavy armor formation with backing artillery, supported by well armed and trained infantry formations with several squadrons of fighter bombers would be a better answer to scum like Boko Haram.

Honestly, there'd be so situations where a force like that could act. You'd need all of the USA, Russia, China, etc to agree to military action. Just wouldn't happen very often. Most conflicts involve US allies fighting Russian allies. Their in the complications with China's economic interests and virtually every military operation is vetoed.
