The UNs mission is mostly to exist as a forum for the leaders of a nation to discuss issues in a known-safe environment. It's not meant for oversight, nor is it meant to police anything, even if it is sold that way sometimes.

Have you heard of UN peacekeeping, my friend?

Spake for thy liberal impotence... you do remember a sample of the peacekeeping missions they did:

The Korean War - 1950s

The Congo conflict - 1960s

Rwanda and Yugoslavia - 1990s

Haiti - 2004-2017

Heck, they were there peacekeeping in Libnan and Syria...
