Financing of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force Observer Force,2 as well as the related report of the Advi­ sory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Ques­ tions, 3 A The General Assembly, Having considered the report of the Secretary-General on the financing of the United Nations Disengagement 1 For the decisions adopted on the reports of the Fifth Committee, see sect. X.8.7. 257 Bearing in mind Security Council resolution 350 (1974) of 31 May 1974, by which the Council established the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force, and the subsequent resolutions by which the Council extended the 2 A/42/642. 3 A/42/791, sect. II. 258 General Assembly-Forty-second Session mandate of the Force, the latest of which was resolution 603 (1987) of 25 November 1987, Recalling its resolution 3211 B (XXIX) of 29 November 1974 on the financing of the United Nations Emergency Force and the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force and its subsequent resolutions thereon, the latest of which was resolution 41/44 A of 3 December 1986, Reaffirming its previous decisions regarding the fact that in order to meet the expenditures caused by such op­ erations, a different procedure is required from that ap­ plied to meet expenditures of the regular budget of the United Nations, Taking into account the fact that the economically more developed countries are in a position to make relatively larger contributions and that the economically less devel­ oped countries have a relatively limited capacity to con­ tribute towards peace-keeping operations involving heavy expenditures, Bearing in mind the special responsibilities of the States permanent members of the Security Council in the financ­ ing of such operations, as indicated in General Assembly resolution 1874 (S-IV) of 27 June 1963 and other resolu­ tions of the Assembly, I Decides to appropriate to the Special Account referred to in section II, paragraph I, of General Assembly resolu­ tion 3211 B (XXIX) the amount of $17,400,000 gross ($17, l 00,000 net) authorized and apportioned by section III of Assembly resolution 41/44 A for the operation of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force for the period from l June to 30 November 1987, inclusive; II l. Decides to appropriate to the Special Account an amount of $17,664,000 for the operation of the United Na­ tions Disengagement Observer Force for the period from l December 1987 to 31 May 1988, inclusive; 2. Decides further, as an ad hoc arrangement, without prejudice to the positions of principle that may be taken by Member States in any consideration by the General As­ sembly of arrangements for the financing of peace-keeping operations, to apportion the amount of $17,664,000 among Member States in accordance with the scheme set out in section II, paragraph 2, of Assembly resolution 41/44 A; 3. Decides that there shall be set off against the appor­ tionment among Member States, as provided for in para­ graph 2 above, their respective share in the estimated in­ come of $10,000 other than staff assessment income approved for the period from 1 December 1987 to 31 May 1988, inclusive; 4. Decides that, in accordance with the provisions of its resolution 973 (X) of 15 December 1955, there shall be set off against the apportionment among Member States, as provided for in paragraph 2 above, their respective share in the Tax Equalization Fund of the estimated staff assessment income of $296,000 approved for the period from l December 1987 to 31 May 1988, inclusive; III Authorizes the Secretary-General to enter into commit­ ments for the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force at a rate not to exceed $2,944,000 gross ($2,893,000 net) per month for the period from 1 June to 30 November 1988, inclusive, should the Security Council decide to con­ tinue the Force beyond the period of six months autho­ rized under its resolution 603 (1987), the said amount to be apportioned among Member States in accordance with the scheme set out in section II, paragraph 2, of Assembly resolution 41/44 A; IV I. Stresses the need for voluntary contributions to the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force, both in cash and in the form of services and supplies acceptable to the Secretary-General; 2. Requests the Secretary-General to take all necessary action to ensure that the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force is administered with a maximum of effi­ ciency and economy. B The General Assembly, 90th plenary meeting 3 December 1987 Having regard to the financial position of the Special Ac­ count for the United Nations Emergency Force and the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force, as set forth in the report of the Secretary-General,2 and referring to paragraph 6 of the report of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions,3 Recalling its resolution 33/13 E of 14 December 1978 and the subsequent resolutions in which it decided that the provisions of regulations 5.2 (b), 5.2 (d), 4.3 and 4.4 of the Financial Regulations of the United Nations should be suspended, the latest of which was General Assembly resolution 41/44 B of 3 December 1986, Mindful of the fact that it is essential to provide the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force with the necessary financial resources to enable it to fulfil its re­ sponsibilities under the relevant resolutions of the Security Council, Concerned that the Secretary-General continues to face difficulties in meeting the obligations of the Forces on a current basis, particularly those due to the Governments of troop-contributing States, Recognizing that, in consequence of the withholding of contributions by certain Member States, the surplus bal­ ances in the Special Account for the United Nations Emergency Force and the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force have, in effect, been drawn upon to the full extent to supplement the income received from contribu­ tions for meeting expenses of the Forces, Concerned that the application of the provisions of regu­ lations 5.2 (b), 5.2 (d), 4.3 and 4.4 of the Financial Regula­ tions of the United Nations would aggravate the already difficult financial situation of the Forces, Decides that the provisions of regulations 5.2 ( b), 5.2 (d), 4.3 and 4.4 of the Financial Regulations of the United Na­ tions shall be suspended in respect of the amount of $1,331,921, which otherwise would have to be surren­ dered pursuant to those provisions, this amount to be en­ tered into the account referred to in the operative part of General Assembly resolution 33/13 E and held in sus­ pense until a further decision is taken by the Assembly. 90th plenary meeting 3 December [987 -------------------------------------------. ·--------------------~
