联合国正处于严重的信任和财政危机中。1葡萄牙人安东尼奥·古特雷斯将在12月下台，结束十年的任期，新任秘书长必须在12月31日前确定。1
联合国面临着日益加重的财政困境。古特雷斯警告称联合国面临"迫在眉睫的破产"，预计需要在2026年常规预算中削减5亿美元，并裁减20%的员工。1美国、德国、法国和英国等国已削减了对联合国的资助。1澳大利亚外交部长黄英贤警告，联合国项目的大幅削减可能导致这些机构沦为"空壳"或"僵尸"机构。1
联合国的信任危机也日益凸显。美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥表示"战后全球秩序不仅过时，现在成了针对我们的武器"。1特朗普总统批评联合国对全球冲突的回应是"写一封措辞强硬的信，然后再也不跟进"。1乌克兰总统泽连斯基在2025年指出，"甚至在流血冲突期间，也没有一个国际机构能真正阻止它"。1
目前有7名正式候选人竞争秘书长职位，其中5人来自拉丁美洲和加勒比地区，包括4名女性候选人。1安全理事会常任理事国（美国、英国、俄罗斯、法国、中国）拥有否决权，这可能会影响最终的选举结果。1
The United Nations is confronting a severe institutional crisis as it searches for a successor to Portuguese Secretary-General António Guterres, with the appointment deadline set for December 31.1 Guterres has warned that the organization faces "imminent bankruptcy" and must cut USD 500 million from its 2026 regular budget while reducing its workforce by 20 percent.1
The fiscal and credibility challenges facing the UN have become increasingly visible. U.S. State Secretary Marco Rubio stated that "the post-war global order is not only obsolete, it has now become a weapon against us," reflecting American skepticism toward the institution.1 President Trump has criticized the UN's response to global conflicts as amounting to "writing a strongly worded letter and then never following up again."1 Ukraine's President Zelensky observed in 2025 that "even during a bleeding conflict, there is no international institution that can truly stop it."1 These statements underscore the organization's perceived ineffectiveness. Australia's Foreign Minister Wong has warned that cutting UN programs could result in "shell" or "zombie" institutions, while countries including the United States, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have reduced their funding contributions.1
Seven official candidates are competing for the secretary-general position, with five hailing from Latin America and the Caribbean region, four of whom are women.1 The appointment requires approval from the UN Security Council's five permanent members—the United States, United Kingdom, Russia, France, and China—each of which holds veto power.1
