>>Every member country needs to pay one percent of its federal budget to the United Nations, not as a charity contribution, but as a "tax," a precondition for membership. Our budget is around 100 billion NRs. Our contribution would be 1 billion. Why on earth should we provide the money? See, job of UN can be divided on two parts: 1. Policing: We are no threat to no country. Those country spending billions of dollar in arms are threat to one another to us. So, instead of all country paying 1% from federal budguet, 10% of defence spending is more welcome one. 2. Social welfare: We need money to invest in social welfare. In a country we tax wealthy and redistribute it to the poor. Similarly, rich countries should be levied tax and the amount should be redistributed to poor countries. On both counts we fall in the receiving end. |

"Our budget is around 100 billion NRs. Our contribution would be 1 billion. Why on earth should we provide the money?" I suggest you do the maths, and see what 1% would mean for the richer countries. All that money into one pot and the resultant redistribution. A country like Nepal benefits. |

Is that going to help the country/employee quota system? Currently the more money a country gives to the UN, the more employees of that nation get hired. Counties like Nepal are supposedly so much over quota. Therefore in general , an underqualified US citizenship would get hired over an over qualified Nepal. If all countires pay 1 percent of thier economy , lets hope the quota system will be abolished. |

"If all countires pay 1 percent of thier economy , lets hope the quota system will be abolished." The General Assembly should be able to bring it up for a vote. |
