They don’t have to wear blue helmets to serve a UN function.
Blue helmets mean they are under UN command; KFOR — while a UN mission — is under NATO command. Operation Desert Storm in 1991 was authorized by UN Resolution 678, but it was not under UN command.

KFOR is acting pursuant to UN Resolution 1244; NATO didn’t create that. And you conflate the respective functions and purposes of EULEX and UNMIK and KFOR: They are different (yet all three are based on UN Resolution 1244).

Yes, I already said they were acting the authorization of 1244 and supposed to carry out the mandate and of 1244. What in the world are you arguing about?

KFOR is *not* a UN mission. UNMIK is. KFOR is a NATO mission. The UN’s DPKO has zero to do with it. EULEX is an EU mission, and not a UN mission. All three are authorized by UNSC 1244.

KFOR is not under UN command, only under NATO command, although NATO is technically obligated to follow the mandate of 1244.

Again, what in the world is your beef here?
