At the U.N. Peacekeeping Ministerial in Berlin, the German Foreign Minister, Johann Wadephul, stated that other nations would be unable to compensate if the United States withdrew its funding for the United Nations peacekeeping missions. He stated that the financial void left by the U.S. as its largest contributor would be too large for other countries to fully cover. General Antonio Guterres, the United Nations Secretary, claimed that the Blue Helmets peacekeeping mission had major liquidity problems after asking members to pay in full. The budget office of the White House has suggested taking away all funds to the United Nations peacekeeping missions. Countries such as Mali, Lebanon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Ethiopia will have funding cuts and the possibility of withdrawal from the U.N. due to peacekeeping failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article shows how much the United Nations relies on the United States. If other member states do not contribute to the U.N., the U.S. might leave the organization. This also shows how Many countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, need funding from the United Nations and the United States. Countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ethiopia need foreign investment due to instability in their governments and economic sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ethiopia should look to other countries and organizations for funding and to help maintain the U.N. peacekeeping missions that might be halted. The withdrawal of the Blue Helmets to these countries will be detrimental, most likely undoing the progress that has been made. The United Nations should work on forcing the members to pay funding costs to match what the U.S. is putting in to keep them in the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article directly connects to what we have learned in class by discussing the role of international institutions and how they need to focus on coordinating and facilitating cooperation among countries. This article shows how the United Nations needs to focus on collaboration among its member states because many countries in need rely on its support and funding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
