Sixty-first session

Item 130 of the preliminary list* (*A/61/50 & Corr.1)

Scale of assessments for the apportionment of the expenses of United Nations peacekeeping operations

Implementation of General Assembly resolutions 55/235 and 55/236

Report of the Secretary-General

III. Rates of assessment for the financing of peacekeeping operations

15. In accordance with the provisions of General Assembly resolution 55/235, the updated composition of levels, reflected in annex II, will be used together with the scale of assessments for 2007-2009, to establish each Member State’s peacekeeping rate/s of assessment. The General Assembly will consider the scale of assessments for the period 2007-2009 during its sixty-first session. Until it has adopted a new scale it will not be possible to determine the corresponding rates of assessment for peacekeeping for the period 2007-2009.

16. For illustrative purposes, however, the table in annex IV shows the peacekeeping rates of assessment (correct to four decimal places) corresponding to the scale of assessments for the period 2007-2009 included for information in the report of the Committee on Contributions.5

IV. Conclusions

17. The General Assembly may wish to take note of this report, endorse the updated composition of levels of contribution for peacekeeping operations for the period 2007-2009 and decide that both Serbia and Montenegro should be assigned to level I in 2006.
