United Nations personnel have diplomatic immunity, unless the organization opts to waive it. That means it is up to the peacekeepers' home country — Rwanda in this case — to prosecute, if it so chooses.
Rwanda is investigating the allegations, according to its mission to the United Nations.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.
