教科文组织目前的情况在财务和法律方面都是独一无二的。自2011年教科文组织大会接纳巴勒斯坦为会员国时，美国停止缴纳会费，其分摊会费为经常预算的22%。但美国决定继续作为该组织的正式成员。以色列也紧随其后。多年来不断增加的“债务堆积如山”的影响是显而易见的，这导致工作人员和活动严重减少。没有人敢质疑成员资格的问题。其他成员国要么延迟缴纳年度会费，要么根本不缴纳。组织变革的临时尝试主导了教科文组织的运作，但没有克服现有的支离破碎的状况。
The present situation of UNESCO is unique in both, financial and legal terms. The United States with an assessment rate of 22 per cent to be contributed to the regular budget stopped paying its membership dues as of 2011 when the General Conference of UNESCO admitted Palestine as a Member State. But the United States decided to remain full member of the Organization. Israel followed the same way. The impact of an increasing ‘debt mountain’ over the years is obvious which led to a serious reduction in staff and activities. No one dares to question the issue of membership. Other member states started paying their annual dues either late or not at all. Ad hoc attempts of organizational change dominate the running of UNESCO without overcoming the existing fragmentation.
