USA intends to decrease financing UN, if this organization fails to
make effective inner reforms.
John Bolton, US Ambassador to UN, made such a statement at UN, the
day before yesterday.
He said that USA has grounds to be dissatisfied with the activities
of UN from the viewpoint of the organization's management and
reports. Bolton said that it is normal to demand annihilation of
corruption and effective management.
According to Reuters, Bolton said that "UN should totally focus on
making inner reforms by the end of the year." He warned that, if it
turns out by the end of the year that no inner improvement process
was on in UN, the American will reconsider the sizes of the financial
allocations paid to the budget of the organization.
"I believe that the rest of UN member states will realize what we
attain and our determination to achieve our goals. Thus, they may
figure out how much that will cost to refuse making reforms," the
Ambassador stated.
At present, the payments of USA make about 1/4% of the annual budget
of UN.
