In news of other diplomatic woes, UN staff were informed by email last night the organisation will run out of money by the end of October. @antonioguterres informed them that as a result of a 30% underpayment by member states (esp Trump administration) they are nearly insolvent.
Am told UN Sec General has asked staff to implement emergency savings, including “curtailing areas of work”, “non essential travel” and “energy conservation”
129 member states have paid. 64 have not.
The UK has, btw.
