Yes, the United Nations was created to prevent WWIII. However, the League of Nations, its predecessor, was created after WWI with the same intentions. It failed, and WWII occured. Who's to say the same thing won't happen with the United Nations? They can only do so much to preserve universal peace. Right now, all these events happening around the world - in the Middle East, especially - is just a build up to World War Three. It's a ticking timebomb.
