The real problem with the UN is its lack of funding and resources. It should be used for peacekeeping, mediation, and basically for problem-solving of international issues. The reason it doesn't work well with anything but peacekeeping in small, mostly unarmed countries is unilateralism and an unwillingness for stronger nations to adopt a liberalism political view instead of a realism political view. I wonder though...
A huge reason that the United States got off the ground successfully was that George Washington tried to make it work... all systems take a bit of faith, I suppose. What if the US bought into the UN fully? What if Congress was willing to pay their dues to the UN?
The UN has unrealized potential... it has done some good in many places. But I really doubt it will reach its full potential soon, if ever... a major paradigm shift would have to happen.
