So that Belgium would not alone be blamed for scuttling UNAMIR, its government then strenuously lobbied the UN to disband the mission in its entirety.

Ahh, using that logic then, one could argue (successfully) that the US is responsible for the collapse of the UN in Somalia and the subsequent decade of death and destruction?
But, i am sure you will somehow come up with a reason why that example doesn't count.....
