With the exception of

In all seriousness, the UN's biggest flaw/failing is that it is constantly at the mercy of anyone who happens to use their Security Council veto to their exclusive political advantage. (And yes, I realize that the "Superpowers" of the mid 1940s would never have signed on, if they didn't have this veto capability.) If the Security Council vetos weren't used so flippantly, maybe the UN could actually act on the motions voted for in the General Assembly.
And like Lisa says, when it does act, more good than harm tends to be done, though obviously it makes mistakes.
