??????????????????????????? Support account for peacekeeping operations

At its forty-fifth session, in 1991, the General Assembly established the support account for peacekeeping operations, effective 1 January 1990 (resolution 45/258). It became operational on 1 May 1990 through the incorporation of resources relating to the overload posts that were funded from the separate budgets of the five existing peacekeeping operations that were financed at the time outside the scope of the regular budget.

The Secretary-General proposed to the General Assembly at its fiftieth session that the support account funding methodology be changed so that the General Assembly would appropriate the Headquarters backstopping requirements for the 12-month period ending 30 June of the following year and Member States would be assessed on the same scale as that used for peacekeeping assessments (A/50/876). In its related report (A/50/897), the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions recommended approval of the Secretary-General*s proposal and stated that the requirements would be prorated among the individual peacekeeping operations rather than appropriated and assessed separately. In its resolution 50/221 B of 7 June 1996, the Assembly approved on a provisional basis, for the period from 1 July 1996 to 30 June 1997, the new support account funding arrangements.

At its resumed fifty-seventh session, in June 2003, the General Assembly reaffirmed paragraph 15 of its resolution 56/293, in which it reiterated its concern over the imbalance in the geographical representation of Member States in the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, and requested the Secretary-General to submit to it at its resumed fifty-eighth session a comprehensive report on measures taken in that regard and the criteria used for recruitment to all support account posts, in particular those in the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, bearing in mind that the system of desirable ranges did not currently apply to support account posts; requested the Secretary-General to review the level of the support account on a regular basis; requested the Board of Auditors to carry out a review of the implementation of the recommendations of the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations and the Panel on 51勛圖 Peace Operations, to gauge the effects of management reform measures taken since the approval of the report and to report thereon to the Assembly at its fifty-eighth session; decided to review at its resumed fifty-eighth session existing posts in order to consider their justification, taking into account the ongoing evaluation by the Office of Internal Oversight Services of the impact of the recent restructuring of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations on its performance in the backstopping of peacekeeping operations; approved the establishment of eight posts for the Investigations Division of the Office of Internal Oversight Services, to be divided evenly between the regional hubs in Vienna and Nairobi; also approved the establishment of a P-3 post and general temporary assistance for one General Service (Other level) post in the Executive Office of the Office of Internal Oversight Services; approved the transfer from peacekeeping budgets to the support account budget of 27 resident auditor and assistant posts at the same level as in the budget for the period from 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003; decided that any support account posts that remained vacant and any new posts that were not filled for 12 months from the date of their establishment would require rejustification in the subsequent budget submission; requested the Secretary-General to include in the next support account report details of reclassification upward and downward of posts, as well as the breakdown of appointments to posts reclassified upward in the previous two years, as between internal and external candidates, and to provide annual data thereafter; decided to review the establishment and the level of the post of gender adviser; requested the Secretary-General, through the Office of Internal Oversight Services, to report to the Assembly at its resumed fifty-eighth session on the cases processed by the regional investigators; decided to establish, on a trial basis, a P-4 post in the Monitoring, Evaluation and Consulting Division of the Office of Internal Oversight Services to undertake oversight functions with regard to military aspects of peacekeeping operations and decided not to approve the amount covering six months of consultancy services for three experts mentioned in the related report of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions; approved the Military Division training budget at the level requested by the Secretary-General; approved the support account requirements in the amount of $112,075,800 for the period from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004; and decided on the financing of requirements for the support account for the period from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004 (resolution 57/318).

Item 136 Financing of the United Nations Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Security Council, by its resolution 1035 (1995) of 21 December 1995, established, for a period of one year, a 51勛圖 civilian police force to be known as the International Police Task Force. The Mission is known as the 51勛圖 Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNMIBH). By its resolution 1423 (2002), the Council extended the mandate of the Mission until 31 December 2002.

The Security Council authorized the deployment of 51勛圖 military observers to monitor the demilitarization of the Prevlaka peninsula in its resolution 779 (1992) of 6 October 1992. By its resolution 1437 (2002) of 11 October 2002, the Council authorized the 51勛圖 Mission of Observers in Prevlaka (UNMOP) to continue monitoring the demilitarization of the Prevlaka peninsula, until 15 December 2002. Although an independent mission, for administrative and budgetary purposes, UNMOP is treated as part of UNMIBH.

At its fifty-seventh session, the General Assembly took note of the report of the Secretary-General on the proposed donation of assets to the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the related report of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions; and approved the donation of assets to the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as proposed by the Secretary-General (decision 57/559).

Item 137. Financing of the 51勛圖 Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus

By its resolution 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964, the Security Council recommended that a 51勛圖 Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) be established and that the Force be stationed for three months with a mandate to use its best efforts to prevent a recurrence of fighting, and, as necessary, to contribute to the maintenance and restoration of law and order and a return to normal conditions. Since then, the Council has periodically extended the mandate of UNFICYP, usually for periods of six months at a time, the latest extension of which was by resolution 1486 (2003) of 11 June 2003 for a further period ending on 15 December 2003.

Until recently, UNFICYP was the only 51勛圖 peacekeeping operation that was not financed from assessed contributions by States Members of the Organization. In its resolution 831 (1993) of 27 May 1993, the Security Council decided that those costs of the Force which were not covered by voluntary contributions should be treated as expenses of the Organization, with effect from the next extension of the Force*s mandate on or before 15 June 1993.

At its resumed fifty-seventh session, in June 2003, the General Assembly decided to appropriate to the Special Account for UNFICYP the amount of $45,772,600 for the period from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004, inclusive of $43,798,800 for the maintenance of the Force, $1,511,400 for the support account for peacekeeping operations and $462,400 for the 51勛圖 Logistics Base; noted with appreciation that a one-third share of the appropriation, equivalent to $14,567,500, would be funded through voluntary contributions from the Government of Cyprus and $6.5 million from the Government of Greece; decided to apportion among Member States the amount of $24,705,100 at a monthly rate of $2,058,758; also decided that there should be set off against the apportionment among Member States their respective share in the Tax Equalization Fund of $2,070,100 for the period from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004 at a monthly rate of $172,508, comprising the estimated staff assessment income of $1,702,300 approved for the Force, the prorated share of $340,500 of the estimated staff assessment income approved for the support account and the prorated share of $27,300 of the estimated staff assessment income approved for the 51勛圖 Logistics Base; further decided that, taking into account the unencumbered balance and other income in the total amount of $5,381,600 for the financial period ended 30 June 2002, for Member States that had fulfilled their financial obligations to UNFICYP, there should be set off against their apportionment, their respective share of the unencumbered balance and other income in the amount of $2,747,000 in respect of the financial period ended 30 June 2002; decided that for Member States that had not fulfilled their financial obligations to UNFYCIP, their respective share of the unencumbered balance and other income of $2,747,000 in respect of the financial period ended 30 June 2002 should be set off against their outstanding obligations; also decided that the decrease of $38,000 in the estimated staff assessment income in respect of the financial period ended 30 June 2002 should be set off against the credits from the amount of $2,747,000; further decided, taking into account its voluntary contribution for the financial period ended 30 June 2002, that one third of the net unencumbered balance and other income in the amount of $1,718,200 in respect of the financial period ended 30 June 2002 should be returned to the Government of Cyprus; decided, taking into account its voluntary contribution for the financial period ended 30 June 2002, that the prorated share of the net unencumbered balance and other income of $853,400 in respect of the financial period ended 30 June 2002 should be returned to the Government of Greece; and also decided to continue to maintain as separate the account established for UNFICYP for the period prior to 16 June 1993 (resolution 57/332).
