This is a matter of opinion, apparently. Check out H.J. Res. 114. It's a congressionally passed declaration of military action in another country in order to remove it's government. What's the difference between this and war?

Your opinion of the UN's ability is completely irrelevant. The treaty was signed and as such is valid US law.
