The
new US Administration plans to cut in a big way the country´s financial
contributions to the UN. This decision, if it materialises, will have a major impact on programmes and
operations at a time of greater demands and some extreme dramatic situations.
At this early stage, it is not
possible to measure the effect of such a decision.
It´s only possible to say
that the UN has the experience, the logistics and the credibility that make such
operations tremendously cost-effective and able to reach many difficult corners
of the globe. This might be a weak argument in some circles in Washington. But
it is a strong reason for many to keep fighting for a strong, efficient, and properly funded UN
system.
