United Nations: Guterres sees UN as capable of action despite financial crisis
Despite financial difficulties and political conflicts, UN chief Guterres sees the United Nations as an important organization for global cooperation. He initially points to austerity measures and reforms.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres says the organization remains operational despite significant financial issues. The UN has continued to work with reduced funding, he told AP, and claims to have better management of public funds than any other organization. The financial problems are largely due to outstanding payments from the US for the regular budget and peacekeeping operations.
Guterres highlighted his powers as Secretary-General, including speaking on global issues and convening world countries. He acknowledged the UN's limitations in promoting peace in Ukraine and the Middle East due to geopolitical conflicts.
