As redundant as it may sound,isn't that what the U.N is for?

Actually, the UN really doesn't have much to do with that. The UN is more of a intermediary, they don't have the backing to do much more than peacekeeping, inspections, and negotiations. The UN may decide to recognize countries or not, but it doesn't mean all that much.
And as for US involvement in the sovereign business in other countries... I can't even list how much we've messed with other countries. Just look at what the CIA has done in Latin America in places like Chile.
