Explainer-Why is UN warning of ‘imminent financial collapse’?

GENEVAWASHINGTON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is sounding the alarm on U.N. finances, warning that the world body is at risk of “imminent financial collapse” due to unpaid fees and a budget rule that forces it to return unspent funds. Guterres has repeatedly spoken about the U.N.’s worsening liquidity crisis but this was his starkest warning yet, and it came as the United States, its main contributor - and debtor - is retreating from multilateralism on numerous fronts. In a letter to member states last week, Guterres said there was a record $1.57 billion in outstanding dues for the U.N.’s regular budget, without naming the nations that owed them. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
