If the UN could make decisions with the sorts of impact on ordinary people's lives that the US Senate can, I think we'd see the problems with the UN structure too.
The UN, however, is primarily a venue for the airing of grievances, the distribution of aid, and occasionally the finding of common purpose. It's not much like the US Senate, which consistently blocks legislation supported by a majority of the population.
