UN
General Assembly Approves 2026 Regular Budget Valued at $3.45 Billion
New
York, 1 Jan 2026 (ONA) — The United Nations General Assembly officially
approved the organization’s regular budget for the 2026 fiscal year, totaling
$3.45 billion. This approval is a central component of the “UN80”
initiative, which is recognized as one of the most critical reform frameworks undertaken
by the United Nations.
The
newly ratified budget provides the financial foundation for the organization’s
three primary pillars: international peace and security, sustainable
development, and the protection of human rights.
It
is important to note that this regular budget is distinct from the budget
allocated for UN peacekeeping operations. While the regular budget adheres to
the standard calendar year—running from January 1 to December 31—the peacekeeping
budget operates on a separate fiscal cycle that begins on July 1 and concludes
on June 30 of the following year.
