The goal for UN funding reform is a system that will provide a large, reliable income stream in a proportional and transparent manner. This system should strengthen ownership in the institution and remove the ability of members to blackmail or coerce the organization. There are a number of potential funding mechanisms to explore—the most direct is a system that would allocate resources to the UN as a fixed proportion of each member’s GNI, without the multiple exemptions and carve outs which are in place in today’s convoluted system of revenue generation.
