[Regnum] The United Nations (UN) is considering a major reorganization due to funding cuts from the United States, Reuters reports.
According to the agency, a task force created in March at the initiative of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has prepared a document with proposals. Guterres has previously said that the organization should become more cost-effective.
The confidential six-page document is said to propose consolidating dozens of UN agencies into four key departments: peace and security, humanitarian affairs, sustainable development and human rights.
There is also an idea to integrate the World Trade Organization with UN development agencies. One of the sources familiar with the document called it a starting point for further discussions, Reuters clarifies.'
