Elspode, they're there are the head of a sanctioned UN mission. Are you suggesting the US lodge a formal potest to the UN over a UN mission it supported?
Quote:
On 29 February 2004 the UN Security Council has agreed to send a peacekeeping force of more than 6,000 troops to Cote d'Ivoire to supervise the disarmament of rebel forces and presidential elections due in October 2005. The council voted unanimously in favour of creating the new peacekeeping force on Friday after the United States dropped its earlier opposition to the proposal. The UN Operation in Cote d’Ivoire (UNOCI) formally came into existence on April 4 for an initial period of 12 months. It replaced the existing UN mission in Cote d’Ivoire, known by its French acronym MINUCI, which included a handful of military liaison officers.
France made clear that its 4,000 troops in Cote d’Ivoire would not become part of the UN peacekeeping force, numbering itself 6,000 UN troops.
