The United Nations is facing a crisis.
A spending cap, supported by member nations including the United States, has created a deep rift within UN leadership: creating a split between China and G-77 nations, and the larger UN donors such as the U.S., member states of the European Union, Japan, the CANZ nations of Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Unresolved, these differences could paralyze the UN - paralyze diplomacy, paralyze operations, and paralyze the reform process. Take action!
The UN is the only body working multi-laterally to promote things like international justice, peace and burdensharing, human rights, women's rights, international standards on business and trade laws, to fight world poverty, and to establish free elections in Iraq and democracy in Afghanistan.
This is the first time, in the 60 year history of the UN, that a rift has threatened to shut the organization down. While the UN has always been a work in progress, it remains the world's hope for international cooperation.
All nations and peoples have a shared interest in keeping the UN's important work continuing, uninterrupted. Add your voice to the international petition calling on world leaders to resolve the crisis at the UN now.
