It's not its job to do that, it is a judicial not an executive body.

Unfortunately, the UN’s executive decisionmaking body is, unlike the court, fairly consistently faithless to the law where any of the pet interests of the P5 members whoe exercise vetos over it are concerned, and protecting Israel from any consequences from its lawbreaking (even where the US fully acknowledges that it is lawbreaking, as in the case of continued settlement expansion) is a pet interest of the US.

The UN is simply a playground for the P5 IMO.

And that's a good thing. They have a permanent forum for discussions to prevent global thermonuclear war. Everything else about the UN pales in comparison
