No the UN don't, usually only the President of each nation does - this stops Submarine captains, General's and the like from going rouge or holding the world or nation hostage.
George Bush wont have the Government backing to start another war and I think McCain and Obama are more concerned with sorted the mess of wars out as it is without starting another.
It generally gave us 24mins warning before a Russian Nuke would hit America in the Cold war. Seeing as Submarines, ICBM's and Bomber tech has all changed, I reckon that figure will probably still stand.
