Refer to the news network on February 22Brazil will use the opportunity of the G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Rio de Janeiro on February 21 to call for the reform of multilateral institutions to deal with the current "unprecedented number" of conflicts in the world that are comparable to those of the Cold War.
Speaking at a press conference, Mauricio Lirio, Brazil's secretary of economic and financial affairs, said: "We live in a world where there is no governance to speak of. ”
According to reports, the diplomat referred to a study conducted last year by the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, which found a record 183 conflicts in the world, "an unprecedented number in the last 30 years".
This means, he said, that the world has returned to the level of conflict of the Cold War, indicating that "global governance is flawed."
According to the diplomat, the reform of multilateral institutions, especially the UN, is necessary because organizations and institutions are needed to avoid conflicts, for which it is necessary to adjust the institutional mechanisms.
"The United Nations was created for that purpose — to promote peace and avoid conflict," he said. ”
The diplomat reportedly explained that on the first day of the meeting in Rio de Janeiro, foreign ministers will discuss the current global situation, including the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. The next day they will discuss the reform of global governance institutions, a priority for Brazil's G20 presidency this year.
He also said that the content of the discussion on the 22nd will lay the working foundation for the second G20 foreign ministers' meeting to be held in September within the framework of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. "There is nothing more symbolic than discussing United Nations reform within the United Nations," he said. ”
According to the report, UN reform is a requirement that Brazil has been promoting for many years, and it is also one of the core matters that Brazil will promote as the rotating presidency of the G20.
