Though I've said this before, I've accepted that it goes in one ear and out the other. The UN is a bureacratic organization. The only... ONLY way it can make ANY decision regarding the security or sovereignty of ANY other state is for its member-states to pass a resolution to this effect. If ANY resolution is passed by the MEMBER-STATES (ie. US, China, Russia, UK, France) of the Security Council, then the UN will act on that resolution IMMEDIATELY. Quite often, the UN wants nothing more than to go into these situations (except for the cost which they tend to foot), but it's MEMBER-STATES prevent it by not creating an appropriate resolution.
When you blame the UN for 'not acting', you show that you fundamentally misunderstand what the UN is and who is actually responsible. The P-5 and other Sec. Council member states. Your generalization is what supports an anti-UN ideology that is foundless.
