Introduction A crisis can be defined as the perception of an abnormal situation that is beyond the capability of the business and its scope to deal with. Under these situations, the reputation, operation, and safety of the organization are threatened. A crisis can be caused by among other things, natural disasters (floods, fire, earthquakes, and other disasters), terrorism, industrial action, failure by a third party, or mismanagement of money. Most crises are usually very devastating especially when they happen so suddenly in a manner that everybody is caught unawares. When this happens, there should be a well-structured strategy or plan to effectively focus and deal with the crisis. (Birkland and Nath, 2000) Dimensions of a crisis   * Behavior and ethics   * Victims and operations   * Professional solutions and lessons to be learned   * Trust and /or credibility of the organization to handle the crisis This research study will investigate the current state of financial crisis management in the United Nations and how the authorities are dealing with the issue under the old and recently developed policies and frameworks. The financial crisis is a common phenomenon in today’s society and organizations. By utilizing the concept of public relations various strategies, frameworks, theories, and policies have been developed to contain and manage a financial crisis. (Birkland and Nath, 2000) There are also risks associated with the emergence of a crisis depending on the type of crisis involved. The most significant ones are the development of chaos, nuisance, and financial bankruptcy, and also to some extent, it causes legal penalties and other manifestations which at times requires effective public relations administration. A financial crisis can be described as a situation that occurs when money demand by the customers or the public rises beyond the relativity of money supply by the same organization such as a bank or any other financial institution. Research reveals that the causes of the United Nations financial crisis may have resulted through the following   * Over-investment and borrowing.   * Large current account deficits.   * The larger magnitude of foreign debt.   * Bursting of asset price bubble.   * Corruption, mismanagement.   * Liquidation of as company.   * High cost and low cost financial economies. Financial crisis at the UN Due to a lack of commitment by member states to contribute funds to the United Nations, the international body has been experiencing a financial crisis since the beginning of the last decade. Countries such as the United States have been able to push through their agendas in terms of policies implementations in the UN with very minimal financial support. This has resulted in the overstretching of the Union’s budget over the last few years. Poor relations between the US and EU have also impacted more force on the financial crisis at the international body. With increased cases of international crises and other conflicts such as the war in Israel, the financial crisis is expected to pose a challenge. However, there have been stringent measures to ensure that the financial crisis is contained and sorted out to have the organization processes continue smoothly (Werth, 1994). At this global level, the UN has made new international public relations as well financial-enhancing transparency
