The General Assembly has approved a $5.4 billion budget for the United Nations’ regular operations during 2016 and 2017.
- The regular budget is separate from the budget for the U.N. far-flung peacekeeping operations, which totals $8.27 billion for the year ending June 30, 2016.
- Many U.N. agencies are funded by voluntary contributions from member states.
The United States, the largest contributor, pays 22% of the regular budget followed by Japan with 9.68%.
