The United Nations is an impotent organization at best.
Congo
Lebanon
Yom Kippur War
Cyprus

But it is easy to show there failures rather than there successses because acievements in negociation is not as defineable as a millitary operation...

But Tamper the UN spents a tiny fraction of money of the US millitary and have produced results in the list I gave earlier which you have failed to point out... Without UN there is no international law or agreements...
