In Defense of the UN

I believe the UN hasn't accomplished anything meaningful in terms of something concrete the UN has accomplished. They throw around big words like "international peace" and "Task Force on the Global Food Security Crisis," but this doesn't mean the UN has solved any problems. Sure the world hasn't launched any nukes at each other, but is that really the UN's doing? Countries like the United States and Russia reduced their arsenals but that was because Prez Obama wanted this to happen. The United Nations has admirably and foolishly taken on the task of being the world's largest philanthropic organization. They tackle every single problem and it results in no confirmed solutions. Last time I checked there are still billions of people without enough food, 1 million people a year dead from malaria and more civil wars than I can count. I see the UN as an idealistic group of people in a sweet blue building in New York City that took on more than they could handle.
