No, certainly not Americans, who see the U.N. as the joke that it is.

Actually, Americans profess to like the UN, or at least the idea of
it. They say it’s doing a bad job in recent years - which is hard to
argue with - but think it should play a big role in world affairs.
26% said a “leading role,” and 42% a “major role” in a Feb 2006
Gallup poll. Just 1% said it should not exist. Even 2/3 of those who
say it’s doing a bad job think it should play an important role.
