1/ You could equally argue that we shouldn't blame the respective countries when it's actually just a small number of political leaders rather than the consensus of the populous itself.
2/ And being a "democratic organisation" means that the UN's policies are agreed by the majority. Which also means that it's not just the reflections of a small number of member countries but actually the organisation's (the UN's) wider belief.

In fact given the UN is democratic and that most national-level decisions are not (even in democratic countries, we vote in our leaders, they choose the policies. So while we arguably have influence over the policies, those policies are not typically democratically chosen; baring a small number of fringe examples where referendums do happen). Thus you could argue that it's more fair to blame a democratic organisation for voting in policies than the independent nations who's population didn't.

However being more pragmatic: it makes greater sense to blame everyone under their organisations umbrella rather than blaming each and every nation individually; for such a list would be lengthy and counter productive.
