Can Peacekeepers shoot back?

Not without direct authorization of the Security Council, or if they’re directly fired upon. Considering these were TANKS firing on a foot patrol, I highly doubt anyone brought along a LAW or Javelin.

I was wondering too. What are their guns for if not defending themselves.
