United Nations: Crisis of Credibility
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has announced the startling news that the United Nations faces “imminent financial collapse,” arising from member nations not paying their annual dues. The financial crisis reflects a growing belief that the UN has become increasingly ineffective. The UN has become “more politicized, less principled, and increasingly disconnected from its founding mission,” according to Hillel Neuer of UN Watch.
Much of the problem lies with the failure of the United Nations to uphold its founding principles, especially statements that affirm the need for gender equality:
- UN Charter — Preamble reaffirms the necessity for “equal rights of men and women.”
- Universal Declaration of Human Rights — Article 2: “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, [or] sex,…”
Extensive analyses by the International Council for Men and Boys reveal numerous disparities affecting men. These disparities have been documented at both the global level and in over 50 countries around the world. But UN reports, such as “Men, Masculinities and Humanitarian Settings” make the claim that the problem lies with men themselves, especially their “harmful masculinity norms” and “patriarchal attitudes.”
In addition, UN programs reveal a pattern of distorting science and promoting gender inequality. For example, hundreds of studies show domestic violence is an equal opportunity problem that affects both men and women. But the World Health Organization not only ignores female-perpetrated abuse, it even argues for “Putting Women First.” See image —>

Campaign to Reform the UN
The International Council for Men and Boys is working to achieve these three reforms:
1. United Nations recognition of International Men’s Day.
2. UN reporting of male and female outcomes from UN programs.
3. UN recognition of the New York Declaration for Men and Boys.
The name, email, and mailing address of the UN ambassador of each country is available online. We urge you to speak out and contact your ambassador!

AI Comparisons of UN Programs for Men and Women
Men die five years sooner than women. But according to Grok:
- “Unlike men’s health, women’s health receives more dedicated global attention via targeted strategies and observances.”
- “UN men’s health work lacks the scale of dedicated funding seen in women’s health (e.g., no equivalents to multi-billion Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
/maternal strategies).”
In order to document the level of disparity, the International Council for Men and Boys is conducting AI analyses of UN sex-specific programs:
