Because the UN is worthless and they would have to send US troops who are over wise busy right now.
We are it we are the police.

The UN = United NATIONS
not United Religions
not United Peoples
Before the UN can intervene any place, or approve any intervention, the major nations have to agree that the UN can and should do so.
What happens first is there is a lot of hand wringing and discussion between diplomats ... maybe 20 years from now, there will be approval for some kind of peace keeping force, and the people responsible for the massacres will face some kind of international justice.
Look at Rwanda, Bosnia, Darfur ,,, same pattern ... people get away with genocide for decades until finally a majority is formed in the UN to go in and clean up the mess

The United Nations must intervene in the Burmese conflict by encouraging the Military Junta to restore freedom of speech and expression to the people and release political prisoners.

China and Russia, who both have vetos on the Security Council, are preventing action, saying it's a purely internal matter.
Unfortunately this is the way the UN is set up - 5 countries (US, UK, Russia, China and France) can block the action of the whole organisation by using their veto. Even if every other country voted for action (and the majority would), China or Russia could block it.
To date, the US has the record for the most number of vetos used. For once though, the US is taking a lead, as it is the only country to have strict sanctions on Burma.

The UN is weak and many times ineffective, but it is one of the best tools for preserving peace in the world.

The UN is an uneffective, weak organization. It's the biggest joke in the world. They do nothing.

For the same reason they didn't stop the masacre in Rwanda.
They're useless.
