<p><strong>Unpaid dues and reduced funding could halt the world body’s core operations by mid-2026, Antonio Guterres has warned</strong></p>
            
                        
            <p>The United Nations is at risk of running out of cash as unpaid dues and funding shortfalls by member states threaten to disrupt key operations, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned.</p>
<p>Guterres issued the warning in a letter to all 193 member states this week, as cited by multiple media outlets. He urged either honoring the mandatory payments or overhauling the organization&rsquo;s financial rules to avoid an <em>&ldquo;imminent financial collapse.&rdquo;</em> The secretary-general said the UN faced a financial crisis that was <em>&ldquo;deepening, threatening program delivery,&rdquo;</em> with cash potentially running out by July.</p>
<p>The letter described a <em>&ldquo;double blow&rdquo;</em> created by a rule that forces the UN to return unspent funds on particular programs to member states, even when contributions were never paid, trapping the organization in what Guterres called a <em>&ldquo;Kafkaesque cycle.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>Outstanding dues reached a record $1.568 billion at the end of 2025, with collections covering only 76.7% of assessed contributions, leaving the organization dangerously exposed. Unless collections <em>&ldquo;drastically improve,&rdquo;</em> the UN will not be able to fully implement its 2026 budget, Guterres said.</p>

<p>The warnings come as US, the world body&rsquo;s largest contributor, cut voluntary funding to multiple UN programs and slashed aid spending in 2025. President Donald Trump said the move was intended to <em>&ldquo;end American taxpayer funding and involvement in entities that advance globalist agendas over US priorities.&rdquo;</em> Last week, the US officially withdrew from the UN's World Health Organization.</p>
<p>In late December, the US pledged $2 billion for UN humanitarian programs, warning the international organization must <em>&ldquo;adapt or die.&rdquo;</em> UN statistics show that total US humanitarian contributions fell to $3.38 billion last year, about 14.8% of the global sum, down sharply from $14.1 billion in 2024 and a peak of $17.2 billion in 2022. Other leading Western donors, including Germany and the UK, also reduced assistance as they shifted resources to military spending, creating a severe funding crunch.</p>

<p>Trump has also been accused of seeking to replace some UN functions with his own Board of Peace to oversee Gaza rebuilding.</p>
