International Law solves well over 90% of international problems... Ireland and the UK have problems with each other all the time and International law is used to solve those problems.. We don't intend to fight wars but this is how we solve diputes over such thing as fishing rights, nuclear powerstations etc etc...
The UN's solves problems for law abiding nations...
Would you get rid of the police force because crimes happen...
Does the UN deserve more support? Yes. Do countries act irresponable? Yes.. But without the UN we would have 95% of the countries involved in disputes with there neighbours...
By the way you have not commented on other areas like
UNICEF
Human rights
Nuclear weapons
Arms dealing
Disaster relief
Nation building
Election monitoring
Climate Change
Landmines
Human trafficing
....
Un Troop deployments are just a small part the UN mandate
