The United Nations plans to lay off 7,000 employees. How will this impact international cooperation?

The decision to reorganize over 40 UN agencies is directly linked to the changing approach of the US towards international cooperation. This restructuring process emerged as a result of funding cuts.

The UN plans to eliminate overlapping operations in areas such as peacekeeping and development aid, which could challenge international aid and cooperation processes.

In the US, diplomatic crises are emerging. The Washington administration plans to close many consulates in Europe, which means local staff will lose their jobs.

The resignation of 700 employees in the first two months of 2025 highlights uncertainties in US foreign policy, which may negatively affect international cooperation.
