question:  What is special about this particular UN mission?
context: Two types of recruits are accepted by the UN Inspector Corps: those with a fanatic loyalty to the ideals of peace and world order, and those who are loyal to nothing but themselves. The UN Inspector Corps had been founded to enforce the Nuclear Disarmament Treaty of 1966. Trained to use small arms and gas weapons, they guarded certain borders, bodyguarded diplomats and UN officials, even put down riots that threatened international peace. As the UN evolved into a strong world government, the UN Inspector Corps steadily acquired new powers. Read went through six months training on Madagascar. He took his turn guarding the still disputed borders of Korea. He mounted guard at the 1980 World's Fair in Rangoon. One power implied in the UN Charter no Secretary General or Inspector General had ever tried to use. The power to arrest any head of state whose country violated international law. Could the World Court try and imprison a politician who had conspired to attack another nation? For years Africa had been called "The South America of the Old World." Men planted bases on the moon and in four years, 1978-82, ringed the world with matter transmitters; but the black population of Africa still struggled toward political equality. For years he had preached a new Africa, united, free of white masters, the home of a vigorous and perfect Negro society. He began a propaganda war against neighboring South Africa, promising the liberation of that strife-torn land. China called the uproar a vicious slur on a new African nation. The United States and Russia, trying not to get entangled, asked for more investigation by the UN. If the plan succeeded, mankind would be a long step farther from nuclear war. But then they would have spent hours flying over Africa, with Belderkan fighters in hot pursuit, other nations joining the chase and the world uproar gaining volume. From Miaka they would transmit to the Belderkan Preserve, a famous tourist attraction whose station could transmit to any point on the globe.
output:  It was the first attempt at using a specific power.
options:  It was the first political mission with Americans on the team.  It was the first high-profile mission in Africa.  It was the first attempt at using a specific power.  It was the first mission specifically oriented at avoiding nuclear war.
