United Nations cultural agency UNESCO has been forced to suspend all its spending programmes until the end of the year after the United States withdrew its funding, its director general said on November 10, 2011. In an address to UNESCO diplomats, Irina Bokova said the agency faces a $65 million funding shortfall and would have to halt its activities, after a row with Washington over Palestinian membership.
