A US congressional committee has drafted a bill that threatens to withhold tens of millions of dollars in dues from the United Nations unless the world body launches wide-ranging reforms, possibly setting the stage for a funding battle like the one that plunged the UN into financial crisis a decade ago.
The “United Nations Reform Act of 2005” targets a panoply (vifte) of issues that have troubled critics of the United Nations, particularly US Republicans, for years. Among other things, it would seek to cut funding for programs seen as useless and bar human rights violators from serving on UN human rights bodies.
