How broken is the UN?

This broken.

Russia and China vetoed on Friday a Western-backed U.N. Security Council resolution to impose sanctions on Zimbabwe for holding a violent presidential poll that was boycotted by the opposition candidate.

They didn’t need both of them to veto the resolution – they were just showing off the strength of their alliance.

Will the UN ever be able to get anything done again?
