US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Saturday the United Nations had played "virtually no role" in resolving conflicts and called for global institutions to be reformed.

"The United Nations still has tremendous potential to be a tool for good in the world," he told the Munich Security Conference.

"But we cannot ignore that, today, on the most pressing matters before us, it has no answers and has played virtually no role. It could not solve the war in Gaza."
