In a letter to all 193 United Nations (UN) member states, António Guterres, the organization’s secretary general, warned that its financial crisis is deepening and could leave it without sufficient funds by July. Although similar problems have occurred in the past, Guterres said the current situation is “categorically different”, with only 77 percent of assessed contributions paid in 2025, leaving a record level of unpaid fees.
A major factor in the crisis is the refusal of the United States (US), the UN’s largest contributor, to provide its previous share of the financing. Under President Donald Trump, the US has sharply reduced funding, withdrawn from dozens of UN agencies, and criticized the organization as wasteful and ineffective.
To read how, with its decision in June 2004 to authorize a US-led military occupation of Iraq, the UN Security Council retrospectively approved the illegal Iraq War, simultaneously destroying its own code of international law, the UN Charter, and thereby, the very basis for the UN’s existence, see the Open Letter published by Dr. Rath in the New York Times on June 30, 2004.
