As I have said before, the UN is not designed to be a Security Force organization. It is a forum to bring nations together to give them a chance to discuss what the hell is going on (See: Cuban Missile Crisis, Invasion of Kuwait, Korean War, etc.). The United Nations does some great humanitarian work, they pursue the goal of improving the world, and there's nothing wrong with that, and I think that they have played a key role in helping that come about. I think that the UN could certainly be reformed to make it a more efficient organization, but it suffers from a high irradiation by the element Governmentium. The policing idea is a touchy issue because of the fact that there are nations out there that scream about national sovereignty. Therein lies the problem, because nations that are committing human rights violations are ones that take up the banner of national sovereignty, because they feel that what they are doing is in their best interests. It's a Catch-22, which is extremely hard to explain, it just has to be witnessed in person to really get a true feeling for why some resolutions that would be a good idea don't get passed.
