The U.N. is of course a deeply-flawed organization. Most so-called countries nowadays are simple gangster dictatorships. So getting the representative and the governments of most such countries to agree on any regulations that can really help "give more rights to individuals" has been difficult. This policy would help countries avoid the need for wars, which are always started by poorer countries against the richer. The UN has tried to help the desperate, with handouts and peacekeeping troops, etc.; but all they've done economically is make sure more children survive, in countries whose basic problem is and overpopulation of citizens who completely lack human rights.
So the answer to your important question I suggest, sadly enough, is "Only a little."

The United States helped create it and place it in New York.
Democrats and Republicans are at FAULT for using it to go with their agendas.
Allow individuals to rule as a sovereign country. The UN should help and give recommendations.
Every nation has their culture and are EXPLOITED by men that attain power and wealth by any means necessary.
Allow nations to make their laws and respect them
Sadly they are miss-used and abused by those in the Security Council.
The Communist opposed freedoms and the Non-Communist retaliated by voting against them.
If parents were effectively educated to make intelligent decisions the world would have less problems.
Allow parents to make the final say so.
Consider the Libertarian way like Barry Goldwater.

I don't think the U.N. is indirectly furthering world peace by keeping larger, more powerful nations from gaining too much power by taking over smaller, weaker nations, which in turn, prevents war from breaking out.

after world war II they were a huge help. there have been around 7 nobel peace prizes awarded to members of the UN since WWII.
Ralph Bunche a black american diplomat helped negotiate the truce between israel egypt, lebanon, palestine, jordan (the one where egypt got the sinai peninsula and removed them from that whole conflict).
without the UN the middle east would be in war. america would truly be an imperialist power. africa would be overun with aids. child labor and sweatshops would be employing hundreds of millions of people in south east asia.
things are not great not, but they could easily be worse and the un is the only assemblage of a world negotiating table.

I have no idea. I don't think I have ever heard the truth about everything they do. I haven't researched the U.N. much. I just can't trust what I hear on my show.

Yes I do. They have countries working together to make decisions, and problem countries afraid to take action for fear of a united reprisal in lieu ao just one countries reprisals. It is time for the world to unite and prepare for whats to be encountered in space.

Why aren't they in Darfur? They have a "world committee" set up to handle such events..But nothing.
I can't think of one event or resolution that the UN did was it was created to do
