With out some serious reform, the UN is in trouble of repeating the League of Nations mistakes.

Countries that have permanent position on the security council are too busy worrying about their own country. Instead of thinking what is good for the entire world. The UN is a global council, and the countries should be working together.
I don't see that right now.

If countries ignore UN placed sanctions, and make back-door deals with countries under sanctions, then what is the point of sanctions in the first place?

The UN needs to put more effort into action and a more pro-active stance on world issues, instead of re-acting after months or years, and trying to catch up.
