03/28/2018 “One country should not shoulder more than one quarter of the UN peacekeeping budget, and we look forward to a more equitable distribution of the budget among Member States. Moving forward, the United States will not pay more than 25 percent of the peacekeeping budget. This is a cap required by U.S. law. We pledge to work with Member States and the organization to ensure we make this adjustment in a fair and sensible manner that protects UN peacekeeping. All of us have a role to play, and all of us must step up. The Security Council, the UN Secretariat, regional organizations like the African Union, troop and police contributors, and host governments have to work together. As we move forward, we need to always remember why we deploy peacekeeping missions in the first place.” – Ambassador Nikki Haley By United States Mission to the United Nations | 28 March, 2018 | Topics: Exclude, Highlights | Tags: Archive 2017-2021 Suggested for You Media Note: Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield to Visit Ecuador, Lead U.S. Delegation to Costa Rica for the Second Summit for Democracy Readout of Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield’s Meeting with Iraqi President Latif Rashid and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein
