The world has run into six billions dollars debt to the United Nations
The most part of the states-members of the United Nations has not carried out their financial obligations. For February, 1st, 2007 the states have underpaid 5, 8 billion dollars into the United Nations’ treasury. Such information has been declared by the press-secretary of the Organization Michel Montas.
Each UNO’s member should make a payment into the regular budget of the United Nations, a payment on peace safety programs and a payment on the maintenance of the international tribunals. Besides the separate estimate of charges on repair of the United Nations office in New York is accepted. According to the United Nations’ requirements, payments for 2008 should be paid by January, 31st, 2007. However by February, 2007 only 31 countries have completely brought payments into the regular budget of the United Nations’ treasury. In Michel Montas’s message it was not specified, which countries were included into the list of debtors.
In December, 2006 the General Assembly of the United Nations has approved a new scale of payments of the states in the budget of the organization for 2007-2009. So, the USA will pay 22 percent of charges of the United Nations, and Russia - will pay 1, 2 percent. Thus in the message of the United Nations it is not specified, which countries were included into the list of debtors. In total in 2007 2, 2 billion dollars has been listed into the United Nations’ budget.
