UN Human Rights Office Faces Funding Crisis, Impacting Global Efforts
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
UN Human Rights Office Faces Severe Funding Cuts, Impacting Global Operations and Grassroots OrganizationsThe United Nations human rights chief has revealed that his office is in survival mode due to significant funding cuts from global donors, exacerbating human rights violations and urgent needs in conflict-affected areas. A ninety-million-dollar shortfall has led to the elimination of three hundred jobs, scaling back or cutting essential human rights work in countries like Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, and Tunisia. The crisis has also affected country visits by UN Special Rapporteurs, investigative missions, and dialogues with states regarding their compliance with UN human rights treaties. These widespread cuts undermine global and national efforts to protect human rights, posing a critical challenge for the UNs ability to respond effectively to human rights crises.
