Public Attitudes about Paying UN Dues
Contrary to popular belief, most US citizens favor paying UN dues in full. When they are reserved about paying US dues, their opinion comes from an aversion to specific UN practices, or policies, rather than an aversion to the institution as a whole. The discrepancy between US policy towards payment of its dues and public attitudes towards payment of arrears, represented by the graph below, make the UN financially strapped and reliant on alternative funding mechanisms.
