More useful than their shortlived predecessor the League of Nations anyhow. I feel like the UN is kinda in-between a rock and a hard place:

If the UN stays out of most conflicts, they get accused of being useless and ineffective. If they stick their nose into every conflict, they get accused of imperialism.
