RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil’s foreign minister is calling for reforms of the United Nations and other multilateral institutions, as his country kicked off its presidency of the Group of 20 nations. Mauro Vieira told fellow foreign ministers during opening remarks for a G20 meeting in Rio de Janeiro that the U.N. Security Council has been unable to prevent or halt conflicts such as those playing out in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip. The ministers and other representatives of the 20 leading rich and developing nations plan to spend two days setting a roadmap for work to accomplish ahead of a Nov. 18-19 summit in Rio.
