UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations has called for meetings this week in the Security Council on allegations of corruption and sex abuse in U.N. peacekeeping missions, reigniting a dispute between the world body's power players and a group of developing nations.
The Group of 77, which includes 132 mainly developing countries and China, is accusing Ambassador John Bolton of encroaching on the U.N. General Assembly's turf by holding meetings on the allegations in the Security Council, which has five permanent and 10 rotating members.
The Group of 77 maintains the allegations should be handled by the General Assembly, where its members constitute a strong majority.
