Kubiak, spokesman for the president of the United Nations General Assembly, said on the 12th that eight United Nations Member States have lost their voting rights in the United Nations General Assembly because they have not paid their dues to the United Nations. Kubiak said at a regular press conference on the same day that the eight countries are Iran, Sudan, Venezuela, Antigua and Barbuda, Congo (Brazzaville), Guinea, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu. According to the letter sent by United Nations Secretary General Guterres to the United Nations General Assembly on the 11th, 11 countries have been in arrears for more than two years, and 8 of them have been cancelled their voting rights in the general assembly. According to Article 19 of the Charter of the United Nations, if the amount of contributions owed by Member States is equal to or exceeds the contributions payable in the previous two years, they will lose their voting rights in the General Assembly unless it can be proved that this situation is caused by uncontrollable factors. According to Guterres's letters, Comoros, Sao Tome and Principe and Somalia belong to the category of "uncontrollable factors", and their voting rights in 2022 remain. At the same time, the eight countries whose voting rights have been cancelled can resume their voting rights as long as they pay the specified minimum amount. The 76th United Nations General Assembly approved the United Nations regular budget for 2022 with a total amount of US $3122 million last December. The apportionment ratio of the regular budget of the United Nations shall be determined in accordance with the principle of the capacity to pay of all countries. (outlook new era)
