The UN is a toothless poodle. The current Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been the first time in my life that I've seen the USA actually tell Israel to maybe kinda not be so aggressive. A quick internet search also showed that USA, France and UK vetoed a resolution that denounced the USA invasion of Panama in 1989

Also, all those listed countries have veto power against Security Council resolutions. Wikipedia list of resolutions and vetoes.
