Explanation:

1. For the UN peacekeepers' role: UNAMIR (the UN mission in Rwanda) had restrictive rules of engagement and was ordered not to intervene actively during the genocide, failing to stop the violence on a large scale, not supporting the Hutu regime, and only being able to provide very limited aid to a small number of people, not widespread supplies to refugees.
2. For the death toll: Historical research and consensus estimate that around 1,000,000 people (mostly Tutsi, along with moderate Hutus) were killed during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.
3. For the international response: Most global powers were slow to recognize the genocide as it was happening, delayed any meaningful military intervention, and only provided limited, late assistance, with no immediate large-scale military action or impactful early economic sanctions.

Answer:

1. They were there as peace keepers (U.N.) and had orders not intervene
2. 1,000,000
3. Delayed intervention and limited assistance
