United Nations (AP) — Meetings canceled. Escalators stopped. Official travel limited. U.N. documents delayed. Air conditioning and heating reduced. Limits on interpretation to the U.N.’s six official languages. And the fountain outside U.N. headquarters paid for by U.S. school children and opened in 1952 shut down.
These are some of the measures Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has ordered effective Monday at all U.N. facilities and operations around the world to deal with the United Nations’ worst cash crisis in nearly a decade.
The U.N. chief said in a letter to the heads of all U.N. entities circulated Friday that the emergency measures “will affect working conditions and operations until further notice.”
U.N. management chief Catherine Pollard told the General Assembly’s budget committee on Friday that 128 countries had paid $1.99 billion in dues for the U.N.’s 2019 operating budget by Oct. 4.
But she said $1.386 billion is owed for this year by 65 countries — including more than $1 billion by the United States.
