The UN would love to take the lead, as long as they don't have to provide the followers.

A lot of Turks got killed.
During the Cold War, the fact that both the Soviet Union and we had vetos kept the UN on the sidelines in most conflicts. Korea was an exception because the Soviet Union had walked out in protest over something stupid.
