Yes like we can count on those troops to implement effective law enforcement or expect them to do anything competantly. Have you heard the stories of what UN troops (especially the Nigerians you cite - and the indonesians track record is pretty bad to) do in countries they occupy? My cousin was stationed in Bosnia and he said that the Russians just ran amock. Selling weapons, harassing the natives, starting organized crime syndicates etc.
The troops from those countries you cite don't maintain law and order. They break the laws that they are supposed to enforce. You need disciplined soldiers (which means soliders not from the countries you cited) and soldiers that are willing to fight (that rules out most of NATO).
