 Spreading cholera in Haiti: Genome testing showed that the

world’s worst recent outbreak of cholera, which swept through Haiti after
the 2010 earthquake, was likely started by a Nepali UN peacekeeping
force who carried the disease. More 700,000 were infected and 8,000
died.

 Iraq oil for food program: This UN program enabled Iraq to gain
relief from international sanctions by selling oil through the UN, which
would supervise the delivery of food and medicine with the resulting cash.
However, the money ended up in private hands and became the worst
financial scandal in UN history.
