Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[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.'

Perhaps they could get some money from HUD by offering homeless housing at their NYC facility.

#8  They have a lovely headquarters in Geneva. built for the League of Nations. Every member nation has a delegation there, so shifting all the important business of the UN there could be done overnight. Just imagine the benefits of being in the tranquil isolation of neutral Switzerland to contemplate all the worlds woes to be solved though the comity of nations!
