從第二次世界大戰之後，聯合國在全球就有著舉足輕重的地位，其目的便是希望維護世界的秩序，解決國家之間的矛盾，避免戰爭的爆發。但是隨著科技的發達及文明的發展，現在世界上的戰爭可以說是越來越少，因此聯合國也失去了以前的權力，作用大大的降低，甚至有些國家應該開始不服從聯合國的管理了，連會費都不願意繳交，這樣的狀況把聯合國的秘書長古特雷斯逼到甚至想賣房。
說到不服聯合國的管理，大家第一個聯想到的肯定就是美國，因為若要論有能力與聯合國挑戰的國家，美國絕對是最有資格站出來發聲的。原本身為世界上最強大的軍事經濟體系，美國應該理所當然的做出一個表率。但是事實卻相反，美國近期都反對支付聯合國會費，最諷刺的是，他還是聯合國中負債最大的國家。
根據聯合國秘書長古特雷今年1月11日向聯合國成員國告知目前會員國拖欠聯合國會費的情況，總拖欠費用高達20億美元（約台幣627億），其中美國拖欠聯合國會費獨佔1/3，根據統計到今年元旦，美國拖欠聯合國常規預算為3.8億美元（約台幣119.1億），拖欠維和費用為7.76億美元（約台幣243.2億）。

美國拖欠聯合國費用在以往也都有，但是到了川普政府上台之後，這個情況就更加嚴重了。在這過程中，川普一直要求聯合國對美國降低分攤維和費用和常規預算。因為在川普眼中，現在美國所交的費用不足以彌補其獲得的利益，美國是非常吃虧的，所以如果聯合國不同意美國的條件，那就乾脆不要交這部分的費用，直到聯合國同意為止。雖然聯合國有明顯的規範，但明顯的，這並不適用於美國。
由於會員國就算欠繳會費，也不會被踢出聯合國，愈來愈多國家開始拖欠會費。根據聯合國2003年至2018年數據，每年僅有130至140個國家繳費，而截至2018年10月2日，還有50個國家還沒繳費、佔全球193個成員國數目近3成。

另外還有許多其他國家拖欠會費，不過有些成員之所以不付會費，是因為真的繳不出來，其中烏克蘭便是其中一個例子。在蘇聯解體之後，烏克蘭便繼承了蘇聯的部分財產，但因為其長期的經濟危機，所以烏克蘭最後只能透過販賣蘇聯留下的武器度日，而聯合國的措施也並沒有幫助到烏克蘭的發展，因此，烏克蘭也經常欠錢。
對於聯合國這樣的國際組織來說，其仰賴的是各國之間的會費以及維和費用，近期大家所拖欠的款項已經越來越多，聯合國財務問題已浮上水面，2017年同期的財政盈餘達1億8500萬美元（約57億新台幣），但到2018年、帳目卻反倒「見紅」，赤字達到1億5900萬美元之多（約49億新台幣）。目前已經受到資金短缺的困擾，聯合國在世界各地14支維和部隊面臨各種物資短缺問題，其在國際間的地位可能也會備受威脅。
聯合國出現財政困難把聯合國古特雷斯急到甚至考慮賣房了。聯合國大會分管行政和預算的第五委員會會議上，古特雷斯發言時提到2017年1月就任後，他做的第一件事就是詢問是否可以出售秘書長官邸。「我沒有開玩笑。這是真事。」秘書長官邸位於曼哈頓奢華的薩頓居民區，是一棟四層聯排別墅，有一座小花園，可以俯瞰東河，市場價值估計數以千萬計美元。可是，古特雷斯卻發現，根據聯合國與總部所在地美國簽署的協議，「賣房」超出秘書長的職權範圍。

Since the Second World War, the United Nations has played a pivotal role in the world. Its purpose is to maintain order in the world, resolve contradictions between countries, and avoid the outbreak of war. However, with the development of science and technology and the development of civilization, the war in the world can now be said to be less and less. Therefore, the United Nations has lost its former power and its role has been greatly reduced. Even some countries should begin to disobey the management of the United Nations. Even the membership fees are not willing to pay, and this situation has forced the UN Secretary-General Guterres to even sell houses.
Speaking of dissatisfaction with the management of the United Nations, the first thing that everyone associates with is the United States, because if it is to say that it has the ability to challenge the United Nations, the United States is definitely the most qualified to stand up and speak. The former is itself the most powerful military economic system in the world, and the United States should take an exemplary role. But the truth is the opposite. The United States has recently opposed the payment of UN membership fees. The irony is that he is also the most indebted country in the UN.
According to UN Secretary-General Guttre’s notification to the UN member states on January 11 this year that the current arrears of the United Nations membership due to Member States, the total arrears cost is as high as 2 billion U.S. dollars (about NT$62.7 billion), of which the United States defaults on one-third of the United Nations dues. According to statistics on New Year's Day this year, the United States defaulted on the United Nations regular budget of 380 million US dollars (about NT$ 11.91 billion), and the arrears of peacekeeping costs was 776 million US dollars (about NT$ 24.32 billion).

The United States has been in arrears with the United Nations in the past, but this situation has become more serious after the Trump administration took office. In the process, Trump has been asking the United Nations to reduce the sharing of peacekeeping costs and regular budgets for the United States. Because in the eyes of Trump, the United States now pays a lot to make up for the benefits it receives, the United States is very disadvantageous, so if the United Nations does not agree with the conditions of the United States, then simply do not pay this part of the cost until the United Nations agrees. Although the United Nations has obvious norms, it is obvious that this does not apply to the United States.
As Member States owe their contributions, they will not be kicked out of the United Nations, and more and more countries are beginning to owe their contributions. According to the United Nations data from 2003 to 2018, only 130 to 140 countries pay each year, and as of October 2, 2018, there are still 50 countries that have not paid fees, accounting for nearly 30% of the 193 member states.

There are also many other countries that are in arrears, but some members do not pay their dues because they really can't pay, and Ukraine is one of them. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Ukraine inherited some of the property of the Soviet Union, but because of its long-term economic crisis, Ukraine can only survive by selling the weapons left by the Soviet Union, and the measures of the United Nations did not help the development of Ukraine. Ukraine also owes money.
For international organizations such as the United Nations, it depends on the membership fees and peacekeeping costs between countries. Recently, the amount of money arrears has been increasing, and the financial problems of the United Nations have surfaced. The fiscal surplus in the same period of 2017 reached 100 million. $85 million (about 5.7 billion Taiwan dollars), but by 2018, the account has turned "seeing red" and the deficit has reached as much as $159 million (about 4.9 billion Taiwan dollars). At present, it has been plagued by shortage of funds. The 14 peacekeeping forces of the United Nations in various parts of the world face various material shortages, and their status in the international arena may also be threatened.
The United Nations has financial difficulties to rush the United Nations Guterres to even consider selling houses. At the meeting of the Fifth Committee of the United Nations General Assembly in charge of administration and budget, Guterres said in his speech that after he took office in January 2017, the first thing he did was to ask whether the Secretary-General’s official residence could be sold. "I am not kidding. This is a real thing." The Secretary-General's residence is located in the luxurious Sutton neighborhood of Manhattan. It is a four-storey townhouse with a small garden overlooking the East River. The market is estimated to be tens of millions of dollars. . However, Guterres found that according to the agreement signed between the United Nations and the United States where the headquarters is located, "selling a house" is beyond the scope of the Secretary-General.
