The United Nations (UN) is facing its “worst cash crisis” in nearly a decade because almost one-third of its member states have not paid their annual dues, according to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
Speaking in front of the UN’s budget-setting Fifth Committee on Tuesday, Guterres said the situation was so desperate that last month’s General Assembly in New York was only possible because of emergency spending cuts made earlier in the year.
“The organization is facing a severe financial crisis,” Guterres said.
“To be more specific, a severe liquidity crisis. The equation is simple: without cash, the budget cannot be properly implemented.”
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said in a statement published Tuesday that, by the end of September, member states had paid only 70% of the total assessment for the regular budget.
“Vacant posts cannot be filled, travel will be limited to essential travel only, meetings may have to be canceled or deferred.”
Guterres also warned that the situation would not only impact operations in the main hubs of New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi, but also regional commissions.

All those overpaid bureaucrats might have to take a pay cut and loose the tuition payments to their kids private school. Too bad.
Whose going to do the extorting now? My son did several mission trips to Haiti. The blue helmets stopped the car he was in more than once demanding cash. My son said it won't safe to carry cash when they went outside of the private Christian school they were working at.
May the UN die a painful death.
Maybe the UN will go homeless?
The UN needs to move to where the costs are much lower than in NYC. India would be happy to be their new home, if not, then I'm sure Somalia would welcome them.
Little commie c*** reminds me of Camera Hogg. No I’m sure of it. It’s the same nasty ugly face. They should get together and make little nasty face larva.
Just a thought.
Good. Starve ‘em out. Maybe they’ll all go home.
Turtle Bay?
Maybe Stone Barrington can give them a loan. He’s a rich liberal
Four globalist coordinating points and regional sites. Basic structure for a globalist elite government they would like to see implemented.
We should have exited the Un in the 60’s. The US has always been the major contributor to UN funding. Time to phase out funding to a reasonable level and give the, notice to relocate.
How much did they spend bringing Geta Thornbeg to NY to lecture every one. That would have been a cost saving move!

How is the UN gonna settle all those Third World criminal money grubbers in our peaceful communities?
Maybe we'll get a respite from relocated America-hating Muslims attacking and killing
Americans while they suck off the back of hard-working US taxpayers.
UN facing ‘worst cash crisis’ in nearly a decade.Warns staff could go unpaid.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Since the UN is now a Muslim platform, why should the USA pay for them?
Let the Saudis fund the freedom hating Libtards.
Agreed! More winning, please.

And what is with Little Grettle’s stinky eye? She is just a nasty looking person.
What do you mean watch rapes, watch each other? So we’re sitting on a billion earmarked for the UN? With the activist judges holding up the pentagon wall funding, Trump should announce we’ll be using UN funds until the pentagon funding is freed up. Hell, forget the UN just spend it on the border.
Oh well, they will have to find real working jobs. They only have to work for 11 years and then we all die!
Donald, you magnificent bastard!
That face was a model for Chuckie. She is a ringer.
GO POUND SAND!
