Abstract :

This contribution develops ideas previously presented by the Russian Federation in Document CWG-FHR-22/25 at the 22nd meeting of the Council Working Group on financial and human resources (CWG-FHR) in January 2026. That document highlighted a growing failure to allocate resources in accordance with the purposes of the Union, as enshrined in the ITU Constitution and other basic instruments, even as some core functions of ITU degraded.
It is proposed to implement a differentiated funding approach that features periodic reviews in order to ensure that resources are allocated in accordance with the purposes of ITU.
