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.

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...
