As I already pointed out the UN is notorious for not getting anything done mainly because the group that matter IE the Security Council do not all march to the same drum beat.They invariably abstain(if we are lucky) or they veto any action.

So self interest tends to raise it's head where one or more of the council have vested interests in an area and a veto is inevitable.
