Most likely the same way they have responded in the past to other incidents of crimes committed by UN troops and administrative staff - with legal charges.... of course now anyone serving with the UN has to sign a legal document recognizing that they can be charged and proscecuted by the ICC. While that's great in theory, the reality is that the UN still relies on nation of origin to take legal action against transgressors... so as you can guess the legal response is somewhat spotty.


I do agree with moe.ron about the latest proposal for reforming the make-up of the UN - this is probibly the best chance for eliminating some of the systemic problems within the say the Security Council system....
