This is stated on the page of Stefan Dujarrick, the official representative of the UN Secretary General.
“The UN Secretary General sent an appeal to member countries on the most serious financial crisis that the UN has been facing in almost a decade. There is a threat that the organization will sharply reduce financial resources by the end of the month and it will not be able to make payments to staff and suppliers, ”the statement said.
It is noted that Guterres expresses gratitude to those 129 countries that have already made a contribution to the UN budget and calls on the remaining states to fulfill their part of the financial obligations to the organization.
“This is the only way to avoid late payments, which could lead to disruption of activity on a global scale,” he added.
According to the Secretary General, only measures to reduce the organization’s expenses allowed to save the funds necessary to ensure the opening of debates at the UN General Assembly and high-level meetings held in September.
