In 2023, the United States was the largest contributor to the United Nations (UN) budget, paying 22% of the regular budget and 27% of the peacekeeping budget. However, the U.S. Congress capped contributions to peacekeeping at 25%, leaving the U.S. in arrears.
UN Budget 2024 is $3.69B. Human Rights $50M. Peacebuilding $50M
The United States' contribution to the United Nations (UN) varies by year, but is typically around $3 billion annually. This amount is made up of assessed contributions and voluntary contributions.
Assessed contributions: Congress provides funding for assessed contributions through the State Department, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs (SFOPS) appropriations bill. The Contributions to International Organizations (CIO) account funds assessments for the UN regular budget and specialized agencies. The Contributions for International Peacekeeping Activities (CIPA) account funds assessments for most UN peacekeeping operations.
Voluntary contributions: The majority of the US's contribution to the UN is voluntary
In 2021, the US made over $9.1 billion in voluntary contributions, with the majority going to UNHCR, UNICEF, and WFP.

Comments
The UN does more harm than good and needs to be defunded. They are on the side of the Terror Groups. The US has already quit the Climate Accords and the WHO and should also quit the Human Rights, Peacebuilding Food Aid and all other UN groups.
