FIRST ON FOX: The United Nations’ UN80 Task Force is examining multiple suggested methods for reorganizing the institution, according to a leaked, confidential document shared with Fox News Digital. The six-page paper cites multiple inefficiencies and areas of improvement needed to combat “geopolitical shifts and substantial reductions in foreign aid budgets” which are “challenging the legitimacy and effectiveness of the organization.”
The effort is "eight and a half years late," Hugh Dugan, former National Security Council Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for International Organization Affairs, told Fox News Digital: "If [Secretary-General António] Guterres really comprehends that the system needs a major overhaul, he should step down and facilitate an early U.N. Secretary-General election." Dugan said that "the person with the fresh mandate" should overhaul the U.N.
