The abbreviations will take place in more than 60 UN divisions, including human and political offices.
The UN leadership has ordered offices and agencies to submit proposals for a reduction in 20% of personnel. The decision was made due to a critical financial crisis, the Associated Press reported on Saturday, May 31.
It is indicated that cuts will occur in more than 60 UN divisions, including human and political offices, as well as structures that operate in the field of refugee support, gender equality, international trade, ecology and city development.
The UN will conduct expulsions of the framework of large-scale secretary reforms of the General Antoniu Guterris, planning to reduce the organization’s budget by 15-20%-about $ 3.72 billion.
UN press secretary Stefan Duzharrik said the cuts were associated with nearly 14 thousand posts covered by a regular budget, or ordinary 2800 posts.
Offers for cuts should be submitted until June 13. The UN Press Secretary noted that they will be considered in the budget for 2026, which will be considered and approved by the General Assembly on December 2025.
According to the agency, in 2024, 152 of the 193 UN member countries paid their full contribution, including China. But 41 countries, including the United States, are not.
Earlier, Antoniu Guterres said the United States had reduced the assistance provided to the UN, and this led to the suspension of human auxiliary in some regions of Ukraine.
It is also known that the United States is stopping funding UN human rights.
