The U.S. government is by far the largest debtor to the United Nations and is falling further behind in dues payments to the UN and its affiliated agencies. As detailed in the chart below, the U.S. begins 2008 with $1.5 billion in arrears at the United Nations. The President’s proposed budget for FY 2009 will likely push permanent U.S. debt to more than $2 billion.
Yet due to the fact that the U.S. typically pays its bills to the UN one year late, by which time new bills have already come in, the result is that the U.S. is rarely less than $2 billion behind in its payments to the United Nations. Click here to view a presentation on U.S. debt to the UN.
