Vanuatu needs to pay the UN a minimum US $19 107 to regain voting.
The suspension became effective on January 25 when UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres notified the president of the UN General Assembly that 13 countries would be temporarily losing their right to vote in the forum.
The notification states that “the amount owed is equal to or greater than the total of the installments owed for the previous two full years (2015-2016).”
