I don’t understand what is point of the UN, what role they have in the world?
Let’s say the security council decides something on some country, how they enforce it? Who can enforce it? And who really cares?

The biggest benefit to the existence of the UN is that it’s a place where countries can just… talk. It may not seem a lot but an exchange of words always go a long way, and the UN provides a place where that could occur even when guns are already drawn.
As for who can enforce what the UN decides, that’s something countries do that themselves. Voluntarily.
It may seem improbable or even insane, but countries generally want to be in good terms with each other. So when they enter an agreement, they generally adhere to the provisions of that agreement unless they want nobody to ever enter into an agreement with them, ever. You don’t want to be known as the untrustworthy guy, unless of course you’re too delusional or up your own ass that you can’t see just how important the rest of the world is to your own country.
