I agree with zeld, the UN was like the league of nations meant to be if not a policing force, a peace keeping forum, and it failed at that. As for how much good the UN does, its true, it does do some good. However, the ratio of money spent well to help people to money wasted is absurd. As far as I'm concerned it doesn't earn its keep in the "helping people" area for how powerful it could be. In the last few years its gotten a little better, but it took them a while to learn not to give money to local leaders, and they still do. With all the money they've poured into subsaharan africa, there should be a thriving healthy economy and no HIV problems... instead there are just a few more secluded palaces laying about
