Devex’s Newswire reported today that with the Trump administration dead set on yanking most US funding to the United Nations, the world body is being forced to adapt to a constrained new fiscal reality – and the workforce is about to feel the squeeze.

In today’s global development newsletter presented by the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”), Devex’s Newswire highlighted the UN’s high cost of reform. Its newsletter states the following.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres recentlylaunched a new reform initiative, dubbed UN80. According to an internal memo, sent by the UN comptroller, it’s “an ambitious effort to ensure that the United Nations is fit for purpose to support twenty-first century multilateralism, reduce human suffering and build better lives and futures for all.”
That’s all well and good, but being “fit for purpose” actually translates into some serious downsizing for the UN in the face of potentially steep US cuts.
Specifically, Guterres is seeking to eliminate 20% of jobs across the UN Secretariat, which employs some 35,000 people, and to make a 20% reduction to the UN’s regular budget, which covers essential programmes and administration costs, and is currently set at just under $3.7 billion for 2026.
The internal memo instructed that by 13 June, dozens of senior UN officials need to report on how they can achieve the proposed cuts in their departments. It acknowledged the “aggressive timelines” of this “collective effort.”
But critics say that downsizing is being done too hastily.
The current quest for savings is just “about cuts,” Martin Griffiths, the former UN emergency relief coordinator, told Devex last week. “That’s not about reform. I think that’s wrong.”
“The letter asks for massive structural changes, with far-reaching consequences, to be decided within two weeks,” Ian Richards, head of the UN staff union in Geneva, tells my colleague Colum Lynch. “While providing some guidance, managers still have no idea how to implement this.”
“It’s not clear whether the SG [secretary-general] has really thought things through,” he adds.
[Now it’s up to the remaining countries to defund the UN and so collapse the world government control structure the Globalists have been building since WWII.]

Rhoda, actually, the UN was a great idea in its time to prevent the errors made by the League of Nations and the devastating for all but the financiers (including the USA) WW II. The UN’s undoing was its misuse by the US carrying on its single atomic-power politics with the aid of its veto and that of the formerly Great Powers, its Allies UK and France. The Soviet Union and China were more concerned with their own postwar challenges than with what happened in the rest of the world of no effect on them, Israel for instance.
The UN grew into a monstrous bureaucracy because every nation wanted a share of the well-paying, tax-free and presumably-influential jobs in the new global organization. It might be better to reform the UN on a rational and functional basis, than to emasculate or dissolve it entirely, and return to the former pure power politics that brought us two world wars and to the beginning of a third, but that would require a rationality in national and supranational leadership that we have no right to expect.
In my life experience (and study), individuals and nations normally take a chance only when they have no other, so we may have to wait until the current contretemps between the powers has played itself out – provided we don’t end our species in a nuclear finale.

Servus! Schon seit Monaten suchte ich nach einer neuen Plattform, als ich eine Empfehlung im Familienchat entdeckte, die zu beep beep casino login führte. In Deutschland überzeugte mich sofort der Gratis-Bonus für Spielgeld, mit dem ich die neueste Slot-Kollektion durchprobieren konnte. Ich habe übrigens eine Schwäche für Jackpot-Automaten – und hier gibt’s einige spannende Titel. Anfangs dachte ich, das sei nur ein Trend, doch inzwischen logge ich mich fast täglich ein, um mich der Jagd nach dem großen Gewinn hinzugeben.
