A. Member nations must volunteer to provide for the troops.
The United Nations relies on member nations to volunteer and contribute troops or resources for peacekeeping missions. The UN does not have its own standing army but rather depends on member states to offer military forces for peacekeeping operations. This voluntary contribution limits the UN's ability to supply peacekeeping troops since it is contingent upon the willingness of member nations to contribute forces.
