“In the past, our failure to pay all of our dues and to pay them on a timely basis has constrained the UN’s performance and deprived us of the ability to use our influence most effectively to promote reform. [President] Obama believes the U.S. should pay our dues to the UN in full and on time.”

     - Susan Rice, Ambassador to the United Nations

The United States needs to foster broad-based international cooperation to address the challenges of an increasingly complex and dangerous world.  Key issues on the international agenda make it clear that the U.S. cannot bear all the costs or risks of international peace and security—from stabilizing the Middle East, to ending the genocide in Darfur, or reaching international consensus on combating global climate change.

Here are the United Nations topics we are actively following:

• United States Funding of the United Nations
• United Nations Emergency Capacity
• The Treaty for the Rights of Women
