UN boss Antonio Guterres says unpaid dues and reduced funding could halt the world body’s core operations by mid-2026,

Just a few weeks ago, the USA officially withdrew from the World Health Organization which is a part of the UN.

The USA has also announced a withdrawal from 31 additional UN agencies as many of them promoted ”radical climate policies, global governance and ideological programs that conflict with US sovereignty and economic strength”.

The situation is so desperate, it is now being reported that at the UN headquarters in Geneva, the escalators are being turned off and heating tuned down to save money.

The USA is the largest funder of the UN, however, the USA did not pay its contribution to the regular budget of the UN last year.

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’s financial rules to avoid an “imminent financial collapse” with cash potentially running out by July.

The letter described a “double blow” 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 “Kafkaesque cycle.”

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 “drastically improve,” the UN will not be able to fully implement its 2026 budget, Guterres said.
