I think were the UN granted a role, they'd probably take it. As far as I can understand, the US is currently saying, tell you what, hows about you supply us with bodies and they do what we tell them.

That's not a role, and concidering how dangerous things are there right now, I'm not sure it would even be morally defensible for the UN to ask that of their staff. It's one thing to die in the line of duty (as in the recent bombing) even if you're not doing much but being there. Dieing as a body given over to another government is another. In what way would participants like that even be the UN, apart from in name?
