About the Platform
8 billion world citizens, each becoming a UN Secretary-General.
“We the Peoples of the United Nations…”Preamble to the Charter of the United Nations
The UN Charter begins with “We the Peoples of the United Nations.”
It is a declaration that the UN belongs to world citizens, not only to member governments.
Yet scrutinizing global public funds has long been the preserve of a small circle of officials and diplomats. UN senior staff and the personnel of 193 member-state missions simply cannot individually verify the tens of billions of dollars in programmes carried out each year — the structural limits are clear. Judging the effect of a single programme requires reading its budget, beneficiary countries, performance indicators and possible overlaps together, but that material has been scattered and written in technical language, making it hard for citizens to examine directly.
This platform opens that review process to all 8 billion world citizens. It collects original public data as published — IATI international aid data and official UN financial statistics, the original text of General Assembly and Security Council resolutions from the UN Digital Library, SDG indicators from the UN Statistics Division, and crisis data from OCHA, UNHCR, GDACS and the World Bank — and publishes it without artificial estimation or processing. English-language originals are translated into Korean, and an AI adviser breaks down technical programmes and resolutions item by item. The judgement itself belongs to citizens.
In the Secretary-General's Office, examine the UN Charter and the senior leadership's priorities; in the agency profiles, listen to AI briefings; track the budget flow; check your own contribution down to the cent with the tax receipt; review SDG progress and global threat levels; vote directly on programme budgets and General Assembly/Security Council resolutions; rebuild the budget yourself; and send the opinions you form directly to the UN missions and the Secretary-General's Office.
Every one of those screens is available in Korean and in all six UN official languages — English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Russian. The language switcher at the top of each page keeps you exactly where you are and simply changes the language, with Arabic rendered right-to-left. Interface text, programme titles and AI adviser briefings are all translated, so citizens everywhere read the same data in their own language.
Start here to see what your taxes contribute to the UN and international organizations, and what you can do, starting now, for a better future for the planet.
We are all AI Secretaries-General.
This site has no affiliation with the United Nations or any international organization. It is run by VANK (Voluntary Agency Network of Korea), the Cyber Diplomatic Corps, on the belief that every person in the world can become an AI Secretary-General and change the world together.

Six UN Official Languages
Beyond Korean, the site is published in all six UN official languages — English (/en), French (/fr), Spanish (/es), Arabic (/ar), Chinese (/zh) and Russian (/ru). A language switcher at the top of every page keeps you on the same screen, Arabic is displayed right-to-left, and UI text, programme titles and AI adviser briefings are all translated. Search engines are also told "this page exists in these languages," so readers anywhere land on their own edition.
How the AI adviser briefs you
- 🎯 Programme purpose
- Provides emergency relief food to children and displaced people in conflict and disaster areas, and improves malnutrition.
- 👥 Beneficiaries
- Displaced children and residents whose survival is threatened by war and climate disasters in Gaza, Ukraine, Africa and elsewhere.
- 📊 Performance indicators
- Timeliness of relief supplies reaching the field after a disaster, and recovery rates in beneficiaries' survival and nutrition.
- ⚖️ Issues to watch
- Preventing excessive administrative overhead, ensuring field delivery rates, and linking one-off relief to lasting self-reliance infrastructure.
AI adviser briefings come in six types: programme briefings (purpose · beneficiaries · performance indicators · issues), agency briefings (overview · activities · beneficiaries · spending · issues), leader briefings (activity summary · key activities · beneficiaries · impact · issues), resolution briefings (background · content · effect · voting alignment · issues), SDG goal briefings (progress · achievements · limits), and Korea contribution briefings (viewed by agency-level budget breakdown). Every briefing is generated from original sources only, and never invents a figure absent from the source.
The lineage of this project
- 1999VANK, the Cyber Diplomatic Corps, launches
Recognizing that Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff alone could not reach 8 billion people with accurate information about Korea, VANK began training teenagers and young adults as civilian digital diplomats.
- 2026AI Lawmaker
Opened domestic fiscal democracy by building a platform where 50 million citizens directly monitor the government's expenditure budget.
- NowAI Secretary-General
The same principle is extended to the whole planet. All 8 billion citizens become reviewers of the UN budget. It is a digital realization of the UN Charter's spirit of sovereignty resting with the people.

Each agency line in the receipt is an illustrative allocation of the contribution above, apportioned by IATI net-expenditure share — it does not mean the UN regular budget is actually distributed this way.

Principles
Original figures only
Every number is transcribed from a published UN or IATI record. We never estimate, interpolate or rescale.
No verdicts on waste
When several agencies run programmes with the same purpose, we state the fact. Whether that is duplication or necessary redundancy is for citizens to decide.
Traceable by design
Each dataset carries its source URL, collection timestamp and a SHA-256 fingerprint so anyone can re-verify it.
Language is not a gate
Technical programme documents and resolutions are explained item by item by an AI adviser, in both Korean and English.
