How do you propose this 'UN Army' be funded, organized, and equipped?

Forget funding. How is he going to get around the fact that any semblance of a UN army is illegal?

Wolfgang looks at the Rubina ambassador. "Agreement. We cannot have an army, and no amount of legislation can change that."

i want evidence! why should it be illegal and about the funding its a sort of tax proces.

It is by decree of the game's creator and those who run the thing. The Rules thread post One (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8913201&postcount=1) states this clearly. Do not argue. It will not change. It is a fact of the NSUN.

Maybe you could say what it is about a UN army that you like; then we could see what legal bits we could extract. For example, you could certainly authorise humanitarian intervention: the UN only recently repealed a resolution doing just this (http://www.nationstates.net/page=UN_past_resolutions/start=91). I really don't see a way for the UN to establish an army without breaking the rules (this setting aside judgment on the merit of the rule) but there are things related to that general area that you could establish.
