Finland receives distinction for paying UN membership fees conscientiously
Finlandis one of the 192 member countries, which have conscientiously paid their United Nations membership fees. Only 22 of the member countries have succeeded in paying their fees punctually.
In addition to Finland a distinction has been given also to Germany, Sweden and Iceland. Some countries of lower economic status were also given the distinction. These were for instance Azerbaijan and Tajikistan.
The UN World Organization collects also other charges in addition to membership fees. These are then used for peacekeeping, international courts of law and basic renovations.
- The economic stability of the organization depends on the member countries, and large scale funders in particular, to attend to their obligations in their entirety within the set deadline, notes the Under-Secretary-General for Management, Angela Kane.
The UN appeals to its most important funders, especially the United States, to not to delay with their payments. The membership payments are proportioned to the assets of the member countries.
