K. Statements of financial implications of draft resolutions

During the General Assembly representatives of member countries submit draft resolutions on matters of concern for action by the General Assembly. Should a draft resolution have programme budget implications, the Secretary-General has to prepare a statement on the implications of the draft resolution for the programme budget of the UN. These statements are submitted in accordance with rule 153 of the rules of procedure of the General Assembly.

[Note: The statements of financial implications of draft resolutions are issued as documents of the 5th Committee of the General Assembly.]

Subjects:

In addition to relevant subject headings for major topics, corporate and personal names and uniform titles, the statements of financial implications of draft resolutions are assigned the following:

610 $a UN $g Budget (YYYY-YYYY)

e.g.:
610 2 7 $a UN $g Budget (2006-2007)
650 1 7 $a FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
650 1 7 $a PROGRAMME BUDGETING

and where mentioned
650 1 7 $a APPROPRIATIONS

If the draft decision concerns financial implications of a proposed meeting or body, the term Financial implications is assigned as a coordinating modifier in subfield $g of the appropriate corporate or conference subject heading (tag 610 or 611), instead of assigning FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS as a topical subject term (tag 650).
