Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says delayed payments and outdated budget rules threaten the organisation’s ability to operate.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has issued a stark warning to member states that the world body is approaching a severe cash crisis that could threaten its ability to operate.

In a letter circulated this week to all 193 UN members, Guterres said chronic delays in the payment of mandatory contributions, combined with outdated budgetary rules, have pushed the organisation toward what he described as a potential financial breakdown. He urged governments either to settle their dues in full and on time or to agree on structural changes to the UN’s funding system.
