Syria once more

Yesterday UN has brought to light a series of human rights violations happening on a daily basis in Syria, including massacres, rapes, torture and forced migration.
This will come as no surprise to any person who has been following the conflict for the last two years.
And truly, I'm sure all of us know there are no saint's when it comes to war so both the government and rebels have been practicing this atrocities.
Some may say that the government does it in a greater scale. That night be true, but one can only imagine what the rebels would do if they had the same resources.
Especially because I don't think the people who has started this conflict to achieve a much deserved freedom, are now able to control those who joined them for their own agenda.
My question is the same as ever, when will UN have the guts to step into the conflict in order to protect innocent civilians?
It just upsets me that the two major countries in UN -Russia and US- can actually make the rest of the UN inactive just because they are the greater military powers in the world.
How many more will have to die for us to take a stand instead of remaining as mere spectators?
