Answer 1

.D: To keep the opposing parties separate after a war is settled
I think that the United Nations is meant to be a peace keeping "force". Are, though, wars ever truly "settled" ?

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. The purpose for which the United Nations requests member nations to provide special military forces is to keep the opposing parties separated after a war is settled. These are known as the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces.
