U.N. human rights chief Volker Turk despaired Thursday his agency is “in survival mode” due to funding shortfalls driven by a lack of U.S. taxpayer dollars.
Such is his fear for the future Turk launched a $400 million appeal for cash to help the U.N. Human Rights Office survive 2026, AFP reports.
The unelected Austrian’s panicked plea comes after U.N. chief Antonio Guterres warned last Friday the world body is on the brink of financial collapse and could run out of cash by July, as he urged countries to pay their dues, as Breitbart News reported.
The U.N.’s largest contributor, the U.S., is currently refusing to contribute to its regular and peacekeeping budgets and withdrew from several agencies it called a “waste of taxpayer dollars.”
These include the U.N.’s population agency and the U.N. treaty that establishes international climate negotiations, AP reports.
The Trump White House also intends to exit dozens of other global organizations or initiatives not affiliated with the U.N. but still reliant on massive U.S. taxpayer funds, all driven by President Donald Trump’s demand for accountability.

Just THINK of all the money they pi%@ed away!!!
The leaches are concerned about US taxpayer $$. The rest is BS.
Get the US out of the UN, and get the UN out of the US.

> Turk launched a $400 million appeal for cash <
Let’s say the average community bake sale nets $400. Then one million bake sales should do the trick.
🧁 🍰
Why do I have to think of everything?
Maybe have a bake sale? Or a car wash, everybody wants a clean car. Oh, maybe a telethon, have Hilary! be the emcee doing her best Jerry Lewis imitation and do some song and dance routines.
Maybe dressing up in military fatigues and saying 'you give me money' will help. It got 200 billion from the US....
Today’s good news story.
Good news for a change!!!!
Starve the beast.
Hookers hardest hit.
$400 million should be easy, considering the EU alone projects the equivalent of about $ 90 billion to Ukraine shortly.
“U.N. human rights chief Volker Turk”
I stopped reading at “Turk”.
When the UN overdrafts its bank account?
How is the shortfall covered?
How much of the do these Agencies waste on themselves ?
In my overseas experiences I ran into reps from these “charitable” NGOs. They lived very very well always flew first class. Lived much better then US Gov reps (diplomatic and military). It was very clear where the money was going.
Amazing how these 3rd world toilet organizations can’t live without our money and hare us to the core.
Don’t give these international parasites any $$$$$$. The bums have been grifting US Citizens since their inception. The he** with them!
