I would have no problem with some of the other UN missions in place from a charitable, disaster relief and health standpoint, but with serious reforms since it always seems that there a tinge of corruption to their actions.
But their record on Peacekeeping is ineffective and downright stupid anyways, and the world wouldn't miss it since it doesn't prevent war and genocide anyways. And their Human Rights actions and conferences have been suborned anyways, so the world wouldn't miss it.
Unfortunately the Security Council doesn't work anyways, and national interests are always going to take priority over global interests anyways.
If your going to do peace keeping, you have to change it to peace enforcement. You give it their own heavily armed military and it makes its strategic decisions without inputs from nations.
The problem though again is that your going to end up going against national interests, and end up in a shooting war with one of the great powers.
I don't think that an international body will ever work in terms of war preventions/conflict resolution as long as you have proxy based nation building.
