" We cannot have a legitimate UN until all countries have governments that represent their citizens. Until such time, what the UN santions and does not sanction is insignificant."

I understand your sentiments but disagree with your last sentence. I don't think that UN sanctions are insignificant. Admittedly, they could be better. What hurts the UN more than anything is countries acting unilaterally. The US is notorious for this, although they aren't alone.
The UN will improve vastly when the US learns diplomacy. (Don't hold your breath waiting.) As long as the US prefers to use its military, all other options will take a back seat.
