29105: lyall (comment): Haitian Peacekeepers (fwd)
Lyall says:
My understanding is that peacekeepers, le casque bleu, are paid from the UN
peacekeeping budget. Not by the troops home countries.
I have read that the countries are paid directly from the peacekeeping budget
then they pay the soldat whatever they are going to pay them. With a surplus
going to the country supplying troops.
It is an export industry, in other words.
I could be wrong about this, but clearly recall being interested by this
alleged fact.
