Projected 2009 Debt Situation

21

Increase in new obligations compared to 2008 is primarily due to increased deployment of troops in UNAMID, deployment of a military component in MINURCAT and of additional military contingent and formed police units in MONUC, partly offset by the termination of UNMEE’s mandate, downsizing of formed police units in UNMIK and reduction in the authorized military strength of UNMIL.

Payments for troops/formed police unit costs were current up to November/December 2008 for MINUSTAH, MONUC, UNDOF, UNMIS, UNMIT and UNOCI. Payments for troops/formed police unit costs were made up to January/February 2009 for UNAMID, UNIFIL and UNMIL. Payments for contingent-owned equipment were current up to August/September 2008 for MINUSTAH, MONUC, UNAMID, UNDOF, UNIFIL, UNMIL, UNMIS, UNMIT, UNOCI.

Payments for troops/FPUs and COE for MINURSO, UNFICYP, UNMIK, and UNOMIG are behind the quarterly payment schedule due to the insufficient cash in the special accounts of these missions.

Payment for COE/SS claims are contingent on the timely finalization of MOUs and subsequent claims certification by DFS. As at the end of April 2009, out of 271 MOUs for currently deployed Units in peacekeeping missions, 29 (11%) were yet to be finalized.

Remarks on Capital Master Plan

As per GA resolution 61/251 dated 22 December 2006, Member States were allowed a period of sixty days, beginning on 5 January 2007 to select the option of a one-time or a multi-year payment plan over a five-year period.

12 of the 192 Member States have selected the one-time payment option. Some countries, which did not select the one-time option, nevertheless paid the full amount.

To date, out of a total of 192 Member States, 84 have paid assessments due and payable (compared to 90 Member States 1 year ago), 101 Member States have made partial payments and 7 Member States have never paid any Capital Master Plan assessments.

A working capital reserve fund of $45 million was established under the above resolution. As of 7 May 2009, 163 Member States had paid a total of $44.9 million into the fund.

CONCLUSIONS

33

Financial situation in 2008 slightly better than in 2007.

The financial position of peacekeeping operations at 7 May 2009 shows improvement. Contributions of over $2.6 billion were received, reducing the amount outstanding from $2.8 billion to $1.8 billion.

Unpaid assessments for the regular budget and the tribunals as at 7 May 2009 reflect increases (of $216 million and $11 million respectively) as compared to one year ago.

Total payments received for the CMP as of 7 May 2009 amount to $1,166 million, with $139 million currently outstanding.

During 2009, negative trend emerging across all funds in number of Member States meeting their obligations in full. As of 7 May 2009, the number of Member States fully paid:

7 May 2008 7 May 2009Regular budget 86 76Peacekeeping 28 20CMP 90 84Tribunals 67 49All funds 25 16

The financial health of the Organization depends on Member States, including major contributors, meeting their financial obligations in full and on time.
