If you haven't heard anything about the UN during the whole Syria crisis you haven't been paying attention. The Security Council is where all the real shit gets done, and through this entire thing Russia has made it very clear they will veto any anti-Assad action. Again and again. With each member having veto power, when one decides to obstruct it pretty much stymies the whole process.
I'm against any Syria strike too, because it's stupid. But the UN is a broken institution.
And *all* the major powers ignore it and take unilateral action when it suits them. Did Russia check with the UN a few years back for the Russian-Georgia "war"? Hell no - they just rolled in the tanks & jets and proceeded to whip some ass.
