UN News, the United Nations' own news service, reporting the General Assembly's adoption on 22 December 2023 of a 3.59 billion US dollar regular budget for the 2024 calendar year, by a recorded vote of 136 in favor, 2 against (Australia, Israel) and 22 abstaining. The Secretary-General had proposed a 3.3 billion dollar regular budget in October 2023; the approved 3.59 billion dollar total folds in additional items including Human Rights Council decisions and a new Peacebuilding Account. The figure covers the Secretariat's core regular budget only, not the separately budgeted peacekeeping operations, war crimes tribunals or the specialized agencies' own budgets.
