The UN Security Council, as outlined in Article 39 of the UN Charter, has the ability to rule on the legality of the war, but has yet not been asked by any UN member nation to do so. The United States and the United Kingdom have veto power in the Security Council, so action by the Security Council is highly improbable even if the issue were to be raised.
No one cares and even if they did it can be vetoed.
Countries shouldn’t be able to veto things about themselves. That’s stupid.
The main problem is thinking the UN is supposed to be like this higher authority. That isn’t and never was the intention, because it’s impossible for it to be.

Yep. The UN isn’t the world government. It’s a place for the super powers to air their grievances for the rest of the world to see.

Duh, but that’s the point of the council, to ensure they can’t do anything.
It isn’t. UN was never about equality and world peace and stuff, it was, just like the League of Nations, about preserving the Status Quo.
Got invaded by one of the “major” countries and don’t have another one behind your back? Well, bad luck
