Reform The United Nations

As there are too many required changes this will only address the role of the Security Council. What motivates the Council? Is it government contracts and already made deals between governments and their representatives or is a 'united' concern for the well being of humanity the motivating factor? Decisions and the resulting actions taken by the Security Council  are too slow, too political and usually insufficient for the problem requiring attention. NATO is not much better.
When governments slaughter their own citizens there should be pre-determined political, humanitarian, military and humanitarian programs in place and pre-sanctioned by the UN. to support the people affected. If predetermined United Nations 'rules', 'agreements' or 'treaties' existed to prevent and stop genocide, mass murder by governments against their people time would not be wasted in closed door discussions and bargaining. The existence of standards could act as a deterrent to a dictator considering turning the military on the people.
Perhaps the military organizations of each country belonging to the UN should be held to a standard whereby UN dictates prevent military from firing on citizens in order to save any regime. Maybe if those who hold the trigger could be bound by a military 'code of ethics' and slaughters could be prevented. There is a way to accomplish this. As it is now War Crimes investigations, after the fact, are politically motivated and often result in no accountability for the offending politicians or their military lapdogs. To stop the increasing violence being used against people seeking freedom in Libya, Syria, Palestine, Iran, and many other countries including China, the United Nations must be decisive, quick and intolerant.
Target the offending government leaders, their homes and bunkers with smart bombs, predator drone attacks and black ops forces made up of  NATO  or a similar organization. Use whatever force is necessary and provide all assistance required by the people including but not limited to military, humanitarian or other
necessities. Freezing personal accounts of Kling-on dictators who are worth billions appears ineffective to date as the killing hasn't stopped. It is obvious the fight for freedom will spread throughout the oppressed world and unless quick and decisive actions are taken by the world community many people will continue to die at the hands of their governments.
Political expediency, the quest for oil, back door deals, money and the lust for power can not be justified as reasons not to take swift targeted action against any dictator or military guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity and the slaughter of innocents. It seems as though the UN Security Council is too entrenched, too small and not representative enough to ensure that humanity prevails. Perhaps countries  have too many vested interests and perhaps the UN is as impotent as some suggest. Maybe those member countries that do control the balance of power in the Security Council have too much to loose if a strong stand is taken against any leader responsible for crimes against the people.
Verbal condemnations reluctantly spoken by leaders of the free world do nothing but encourage the behaviours of the offenders. If strong actions had been and were being taken against Israel for its inhumane treatment, persecution, forcible confinement and murder of Palestinians others would have been deterred from doing the same to their own people. The status quo is not good enough. The UN and the Security Council has set standards that render equality an anomaly. Member countries that are guilty of similar crimes against their people should be left out of the Council even if that means changes in permanent membership. 
Divesting itself from the tangled web of politics and fiscal gain they have weaved throughout the Council could better serve the UN and the world it claims to represent. Until the composition of the Security Council changes into a democratic representation of our world dictators will continue to oppress and kill. When the penalties and consequences for crimes against humanity evolve to match the crimes committed only then will it stop. Dramatic and lasting changes in the balance of power as well as concerted efforts by all member countries are required to improve both the speed and effectiveness of  Security Council decision making and actions taken.
