The whole world gets funding from US. When do we run out of money?

US is assessed 24% of the UN regular budget (http://www.globalpolicy.org/finance/tables/dues97-02.htm) and is currently $750million behind in payments (of general and peacekeeping assessment). By no means the only one behind in payments, but pretty much half of the outstanding is the US. Well down from the beginning of last year, which helped pull the UN out of a fiscal crisis. What a terrible irony, the selection of Libya to chair the Commission on Human Rights. Yikes. It's an interesting question, when I start to think about it: who should be allowed to chair these various committees, or more specifically, how to decide who shouldn't? I suspect that if the UN started dictating things like that, they'd find countries pulling out, and so the org decided it's better to endure the bitterness of Libya chairing a Commission on HR but at least have every country in the UN, than to have it become a gathering of Western countries only. I haven't ever really thought about this issue before. Like most important questions, it just isn't as black and white as it appears when you first approach it. Enough thinking for tonight, my brain hurts! Cheers WUWT
