Because it is a waste of time and shit. The UN has been doing this game since at least the 90s..

Getting Saudi Arabia to sign a commitment to human rights and take part in a women's rights forum opens them up to political pressure that would not otherwise exist.

The powerful nations will never let the UN be a supernational police agency. That doesn't mean it has no value.
