  3. 1. Sources of UN funding • The United Nations organistion is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. • Assessed contributions are assigned by an assesment scale , so that the states with the largest economies ( like the USA, Japan and Germany, ...) are responsible for about 85 % of the payments and 30 members contribute the lowest amount of 0.001 of the expenditure of the UN. • In 1997 every member of the UN had to pay less than a quarter of a cent of their defense expenditure for UN peacekeeping operations. • The assessment of the payments is renewed every three years. • Members are required to pay their amount punctually , but some members don´t do this, so the UN has a lot of debts
