The UN is a place to meet, discuss differences and work out solutions. That’s it. Without it, the most trivial of conflicts can easily spin out of control. As world history has shown, and 20th century history most of all.
Not that OP has give that much though, yet here we are.

Ah, yes, whatever would we do if nobody was stopping international conflicts from getting out of control? If the UN werent there to stop them, we might have the most-heavily-armed nation in the history of humanity actively funding genocide by a client state (with the actual diplomats saying their goal was to start literal Armageddon), kidnapping heads of state, assassinating heads of state, and suborning the second-most-nuke-filled country’s annexation of another country by lifting embargoes! Man, could you imagine if the headquarters of the United Nations were in THAT country, and everybody just… Did nothing? Man, what a crazy world we would live in.

Again, the UN only has the power its memberstates give it. The UN ‘doing nothing’ means its memberstates don’t want something done.
Simple as that. The UN is not a state, it has no own money, no army, no economy. It’s a platform for global discussion and decision making. That’s it.
If you wanna blame people for bad things happening, blame the people doing the bad things.

The UN was sabotaged long ago by its permanent council.
