There are different facets to the UN. I agree that the General Assembly is mostly a talking shop, and to a lesser extent the Security Council is too (though occasionally it is a coordinating mechanism for the major world powers).
Those are the two parts of the UN that most people think of when they hear UN, but there's a lot more to it. Things like the World Food Programme or the World Health Organization certainly have their issues, including those in the linked article, but they do some good work.
