US EditionLeaked Memo Details Sweeping UN Overhaul Plans Amid Severe Budget Crisis
- The United Nations' UN80 Task Force is considering a major overhaul of the organization in 2025 amid a severe funding crisis and operational inefficiencies.

- The confidential six-page document proposes merging numerous agencies into four main divisions focused on security and peacekeeping, assistance and relief efforts, long-term development, and the protection of human rights.
- Key figures reveal that the United States is carrying $1.5 billion in overdue payments for the regular UN budget and an additional $1.2 billion related to peacekeeping. Meanwhile, the UN’s humanitarian department is dealing with a funding gap of $58 million and has had to reduce its workforce by one-fifth.
- If implemented, these reforms could be the most sweeping in decades, aiming to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and address overlapping mandates amid a deepening financial crisis.
