Yes has many organizations fighting poverty, hunger, keeping peace and preserving culture. Without the UN the word will be chaos.

Despite it's many faults the UN is organised over-ridingly to avoid having it's own executive branch, to not become a 'world government'. Thus, no, it in-itself compared to national govts etc it doesn't (and lets hope never will) have much power todo anything - material action is dependent on a fairly constant talking shop of nations...which of course is it's real point, a relatively inefficient ability to enact decisions reached is all bonus....

Through their aid agencies, I'd definitely say yes.
UNICEF, UNHCR, UNAIDS, UNIFEM, WHO and the like keep people from dying every day by sending food, clean water, and drugs.
The UN should stick to more aid-based projects. I know their goal is to prevent war, but let's face it, they're not very good at it, and the very structure of the UN makes it difficult for them to do anything militarily.

No! The United Nations can only huff and puff, but it can not take any unilateral action without getting the OK.

the only power it has is that given to them by the member nations. the danger of this is that the u.n slowly get the power to be the one ruling body of the world government. your national independence is at stake and should be garded very carefully.

Sure, send peacekeepers who do more damage than good.
It's an extension of the Koom ba yah theory.... can't we all just hold hands, sing, and play nice?
They aren't in the real world. It once served it's purpose, now it's defunct & fubar.

the united nations is a platform for a global government, nothing more.
