But the permanent members aren't making it easy as well

The security council has permanent members with veto rights over a lot of important decisions, and this reduces the effectiveness of the UN into something of a joke.
UN Security Council Veto Power
Even if the veto power was taken away, the nation gangs with the most military power, will continue to veto decisions anyway. The UN is like an unarmed police officer that has to ask criminals for permission and assistance in order to get anything done.
Of course the UN itself is not an organization without it's own share of dirty laundry, and give it a big enough gun and it will likely cause a lot of havoc on its own.
