Guterres made a concerning statement about the UN

Secretary-General António Guterres on January 28 informed member countries of the world organization that the UN is facing the threat of "imminent financial collapse" due to unpaid contributions and a budget rule forcing it to return unspent funds. This was reported by Reuters.

According to Guterres' letter, obtained by the agency, the crisis in the organization "is deepening, threatening program implementation and creating a risk of financial collapse." "In the near future, the situation will worsen," the Secretary-General notes.
