UN Faces Financial Crisis and Possible Peace Fund Plan
The United Nations faces a multiyear deficit totaling about 100 million dollars by end of 1961 and 30 million more by mid 1962. Dag Hammarskjold warns of a 4 million cash shortage, with 60 million in unpaid bills, while UNEF and ONUC costs drain funds and bloc abstentions threaten operations. A proposed Peace and Security Fund funded by obligatory assessments could relieve reliance on U.S. lending, but risks U.S. control and veto power over peace actions. Alternatives include travel taxes or postage schemes, yet no sure solution exists if member payments falter.
