Reminder: the @UNPeacekeeping
budgets are some $3.16 billion in arrears. Have you anything to say about the large US
slice of that @USAmbUN? https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2020/04/02/world/ap-virus-outbreak-un-cash-crisis.html?searchResultPosition=8


“There is not room for payments to [
#peacekeeping] troop and police contributing countries for the March and June quarterly cycles, which will require nearly $1.1 billion.” By @PamelaFalk https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/u-n-official-warns-of-dire-financial-crisis-due-to-coronavirus-in-leaked-documents/?__twitter_impression=true#

The UN
