No, it doesn't make that claim. And it can only go into a country to peacekeep under two conditions:

1. It has the permission of the country in question.
2. The Security Council (I think we all know by now who the members of the council are) authorizes it.

They have never been the world's policeman, nor can they be, nor should they be.

Blaming an internal revolt/civil war specific to a country on a world body like the UN is grasping at straws. Then again, laying blame is a lot easier than actually looking at the root causes of the bloodshed/starvation/genocide.
