 UN Policy
The intent of the UN seems to be benevolent, since it seeks "peace, humanitarian ideals, and mutual understanding." Yet these things mean nothing when they are forced upon peoples, and nations are enslaved by the will of the majority.
However, as the number of UN members grew, the secretariat increasingly began to rely on the new structure to conduct consultations on substantial and procedural issues with the heads of the regional groups, rather than addressing each state directly.
The UN's continuing anti-Israel bias was exemplified by its sponsorship of the eighth “North American NGO [Non-governmental organization] symposium on the question of 'Palestine'" in 1991.

This file contains a unique identifier for each resolution, the date of the vote, the UN resolution number, the vote-tally, short and long descriptions of the content of the votes and a hyperlink to the text of the resolution (where available).
In general, the long descriptions in this period are perhaps somewhat less extensive than in previous years, but the text of the resolutions is easily accessible through the hyperlinks.
I should observe that in the years 1988-1992 there were no resolutions that failed (there were 2 in 1987) and cursory checking of recent years confirms that resolutions rarely fail in the plenary session.

The list of these resolutions that several Israeli regimes have over the years failed to comply with is too long to tabulate here, but consider the more notable ones.
One such resolution that clearly will not see the light of day, but that the overwhelming majority of the UN member states would dearly love to have passed, is one that condemns Israel’s dreadful arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.
Yet the Bush administration has brought the UN, and along with the US itself, into disrepute by allowing Israel to flout one resolution after another, as Washington goes about expecting Arabs to support its war in Iraq, its war on terrorism and its war on injustice in the Middle East.

For example, in 1975, the UN Security Council passed a series of resolutions demanding that Morocco withdraw its occupation forces from the country of Western Sahara and that Indonesia withdraw its occupation forces from East Timor.
Unlike some of the hypocritical and mean-spirited anti-Israel resolutions passed by the UN General Assembly, such as the now-rescinded 1975 resolution equating Zionism and racism, these Security Council resolutions challenging Israeli policies have been well-grounded in international law.
According to Articles 41 and 42 of the UN Charter, no member state has the right to enforce any resolution militarily unless the Security Council determines that there has been a material breach of its resolution, decides that all nonmilitary means of enforcement have been exhausted and specifically authorizes the use of military force.
