That is because it isn't taken seriously by the government s that matter, like the USA and the governments of Europe

I don't understand - what do the deaths of nine UN Peacekeepers from Bangladesh in an ambush in Congo have to do with the efficacy of the UN, or the gender preference of UN Peacekeepers in general?

And what makes the peacekeepers so useless? Just because in practice, people only comply with UN resolutions when it works in their favor, does that mean we should do away with the UN?

Useless because:
1) Only a handful of nations have a credible ability to impose a solution on another country. The UN does not have this ability.
2) Sending lightly armed people in blue helmets to a war zone is a recipe for getting them killed. It doesn't to anything to promote or ensure peace.
3) The UN is not equipped to maintain the peace - it's a debating society for narcissistic sycophants.

It's because western countries don't like it to send their own in such dangerous areas. Poor countries, where a live has less value, send badly equiped and trained soldiers, because their governments make profit out of it.
