        The UN isn’t just the security council or the General Assembly, they do so much more, eg. ICAO is extremely relevant, just to name one organization. Again, you think the UN doesn’t work because you don’t know what they do. Parts of it don’t work, lots do, same as any other huge transnational organization.

        It was created to let governments talk to each other before resorting to nuclear war - a security council veto is a form of speech. Its been keeping that line of communication open, so its been working as intended. Anything else the organization might accomplish is just a bonus.
