The UN is a body established by the victors in WWII to allow them to negotiate about - instead of fighting out - their conflicts. It's not a world government, a Communist plot, or social justice experiment. It's a forum for the major powers to regularly talk to one another, and to jointly oversee various treaties and programs they set up (like UNRWA). WWII and the invention of the atom bomb convinced (almost) everyone that major powers should talk rather than fighting one another head-on. That's why the UN exists.
