联合国秘书长古特雷斯警告，由于未付会费，联合国可能面临财务崩溃。在致所有193个成员国的罕见信函中，他敦促各国履行强制性付款或改革联合国财务规则。尽管超过150个成员国已支付2025年会费，但总欠款已攀升至15.6亿美元，是2024年的两倍。
联合国正面临严重的资金危机，主要原因是成员国拖欠会费。秘书长古特雷斯在一封罕见的信函中向所有193个成员国发出警告，称如果不解决这一问题，联合国可能面临财务崩溃。他呼吁各国履行强制性付款义务，或考虑改革联合国的财务规则，以防止进一步中断。
据联合国官员透露，尽管超过150个成员国已支付2025年的会费，但总欠款额已达到15.6亿美元，是2024年记录金额的两倍。美国作为联合国最大的捐助国，欠付常规预算约21.9亿美元，此外还欠付维和捐款24亿美元。美国占联合国核心预算的22%，但已从多个联合国机构撤出，并称这些机构是纳税人的浪费。
这一情况被视为美国对联合国态度的转变。专家指出，尽管中国是联合国的重要成员，但不要指望中国填补这一资金缺口。
