In the past I didn't really catch that the people were rebelling against the government and suddenly there is great violence against protestors.

I think I missed this completely. I am aware that the beginning was spiralling costs. Is this connected to international sanctions?

Only enforcement there is is possible sanctions

And those are often only made by some of their members

UN is mostly there for all countries to have a place to talk

Its not the police

UN can absolutely impose sanctions, the actual problem is that the west is a bunch of rogue states that take unilateral action ignoring the UN.
