Well, I don't know about you, but the UN multinational force in Korea 
certainly wasn't ignored. I would envision that typically the UN 
enforces the No Combat in the Core worlds and otherwise stays the 
hell out of other nations business unless called in by more than one 
or two.

The mandate is nothing outside the Core Worlds. The timeline 
specifically states that. How could they establish power projection 
bases outside the core worlds when they aren't supposed to?
