The first result would be the UN getting immediately booted from the United States. The 2nd result would likely be a war between nations backing the UN and nations that will not submit to the UNs assumed authority.

Your question exists as a central tenant in many works of fiction.

There's more than a handful of member states involved in some form of armed conflict.

Who would be the enforcers?

Let's assume top 10 countries by human rights index.

Ireland would be in the top 10 (if such an index were to exist) as we're currently sitting around #4 in the Human Freedom Index. But we're militarily neutral, and far more experienced in peace keeping rather than strategic military conflict.

So we'd sit that one out.

Let UN at least work on weaker countries.

A lot of conflicts are fueled by the big countries giving arms to both side in civil wars . How would you stop that

I suppose the weaker countries aren't the big problem, and peacekeeping forces have been deployed to a few of them in the past.

Independent research organisations.

Yikes nobody agrees on either thing sufficiently enough to enforce them with violence.

UN had no executive power. It is like if judges passes ruling but the police and law inforcements do not execute it
