Re: KFOR in Kosovo (was UN)

Well since the military are doing the job of police in most cases
there's
plenty of overlap, but one of the main UN functions comes from UNCIVPOL
(United Nations CIVilian POLice) made up of UN nation-member police
seconded
to UN they do all the police work and will help get local police forces
back
on their feet, they also work with ICITAP (International Criminal
Investigation Training and Assistance Program which actually runs Police
academies in UN mandated zones.
