This is a pretty harsh opinion piece, but i can't say i disagree.
"One way or another, pretty much every one of its 193 member nations is fed up and increasingly convinced that the U.N. is fast making itself irrelevant."
Also, if you didn't know, @thejapantimes has an official, active account here.

The World, and the international community, should have acted to stop the violence against the Syrian people several years ago. By doing nothing the world gave Russia headroom to do more, so it annexed Crimea. Now, for over a year it has tried to fail to invade Ukraine and the world did little. The situaton in Gaza is complicated and people should discusss the depth of the issue, which the tabloid media, and social media are failing to do.
Speaking about the failures of the UN is easy because they are easy to see, but the successes of the UN are invisible because we see what t has achieved in so many fields as normal, rather than earned.
That's where the African Union. European Union and other bodies become key. If the UN fails, then other international groups should jump in regionally, to work towards a solution. "microblogging" is not the right medium for this conversation.
