The United Nations General Assembly on December 30 adopted a budget of 3.4 billion dollars for the Organization for the year 2023.
The budget was adopted by the General Assembly without a vote after approval by the UN’s Fifth Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Matters.
“I thank all members of the Fifth Committee, the chair and members of the bureau and secretariat for ensuring that our organization is adequately funded to respond to the many crises facing the world,” said the President of the General Assembly, Csaba Kőrösi, in a message on Twitter.
The Commission, engaged the Group of African States, successfully concluded its deliberations on the program budget, program planning and changes to the budget cycle. But, tempered the Group of 77 and China, as all the attention was focused on the periodicity of the budget, we had to give up many priorities to favor the budgetary consensus.
For the second consecutive time, denounced the Group of African States, the Commission could not agree on the financing of peacebuilding. It also achieved an “unusual” result on the budget for special political missions: the adoption of a “skeletal resolution” should not be a precedent, he warned.
