US EditionUN Chiefs Warns of 'Imminent Financial Collapse' by July
UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns that $1.6 billion in unpaid dues and outdated refund rules risk cash running out by July, threatening global operations.
- UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned the United Nations faces `imminent financial collapse` unless all 193 member states honor mandatory payments or overhaul financial rules.
- A record shortfall left 77% of assessed contributions unpaid at the 2025 end-of-year assessments, while UN budget rules requiring return of unspent funds created a `double blow` by expecting cash that was never received.
- The United States, as the UN's largest contributor, refused some budget payments and pledged $2bn for humanitarian aid while warning the organisation must `adapt or die`.
- Guterres said the crisis is `categorically different` from past UN financial crises and previously warned of a `race to bankruptcy`, highlighting the urgency.
- Critics note that President Donald Trump has proposed replacing UN functions with the Board of Peace, which critics called a `waste of taxpayer dollars`, to oversee Gaza regeneration efforts.
