The United States’ intention to withdraw from a host of UN bodies announced this week targets programmes and initiatives focusing on a wide range of crucial areas, including the climate crisis, trade, gender and development.
When UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric briefed correspondents in New York on Thursday following the release of the White House Memorandum, he insisted that the Organization will continue to carry out its mandates from Member States “with determination.”
Wednesday’s memorandum states that the US administration is “ceasing participation in or funding to those entities to the extent permitted by law.”
Several of the bodies listed in the memo are funded principally or partially by the regular UN budget, implying that voluntary funding will be impacted, although central funding will continue.
However, the White House notes that its funding review of international organisations “remains ongoing,” and it is currently unclear what the impact of the announcement will be.
Here’s a breakdown of the 31 UN entities mentioned in the memorandum, and how they are making a positive difference to people, communities and nations, worldwide.

#Kids můžou točit videa na #VHSky, ale mají zakázáno zveřejňovat obličej.
Dneska jsem zkoušel nahodit #FaceFusion a nahradit jejich hlavu kýmkoliv jiným, aby mohly mít obličeje - byť vymyšlený - ve videu taky. Neříkal jsem jim, proč to zkouším.
Když to viděla Lenča, první slova byly:
"A to bysme mohli nahrávat videa s obličejem, když nebude náš, žejo?!"Rostou fakt rychle...

Niri bringt frischen Wind auf den #Linux-Desktop: Der Tiling-Wayland-Compositor reiht Fenster wie Perlen auf eine Schnur und lässt schnell horizontal hindurchscrollen. Flinke Tastensteuerung, wenig Ballast und eine optionale Desktop-Shell machen aus Niri eine elegante Desktop-Alternative. Läuft bei mir jetzt seit einigen Wochen und gefällt mir sehr.

Zatímco knihovníci se snaží držet prst na tepu doby, archivářům a muzejníkům #linkedOpenData nebo #openScience většinou nic neříkají.
