If the the UN wants to find some money it should disband the UN C24 Committee.

The C24 continues to operate, despite numerous criticisms levelled at it over the years, including that it is an 'anachronism' because of its inflexibility, that does not accurately reflect territorial developments in its Resolutions, that it is no longer useful, and that its operation is too expensive.
