I.  INTRODUCTION

1. At its forty-ninth session, the General Assembly adopted resolution 49/225 of 23 December 1994 on the financing of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) for the period from 1 June 1994 to 31 May 1995.  At that time, the mandate of UNDOF had been extended by the Security Council until 31 May 1995 by its resolution 962 (1994) of 29 November 1994.

2. It may be recalled that in order to provide UNDOF with continued financing beyond 30 November 1994, the General Assembly, in its decision 49/413 A of 8 December 1994, authorized the Secretary-General to enter into commitments for the operation of UNDOF for the period from 1 to 31 December 1994 in the amount of $2,678,000 gross ($2,594,000 net).

3. In paragraph 6 of its resolution 49/225, the General Assembly appropriated the amount of $16,065,500 gross ($15,566,000 net) to the Special Account for UNDOF for the period from 1 December 1994 to 31 May 1995, inclusive of the commitment previously authorized by the Assembly in its decision 49/413 A.  In paragraph 11 of the same resolution, the Assembly authorized the Secretary-General to enter into commitments for UNDOF at a rate not to exceed $2,677,583 gross ($2,594,000 net) per month for the period from 1 June to 30 November 1995, and for the assessment thereof, should the Security Council decide to continue UNDOF beyond 31 May 1995.  The above amounts were assessed on Member States following the adoption of Security Council resolution 996 (1995) of 30 May 1995, by which the Council extended the mandate of UNDOF for a period of six months until 30 November 1995.

4. By its decision 49/413 B of 12 July 1995, the General Assembly decided that there should be set off against the apportionment among Member States, in respect of such future mandate period(s) as might be approved by the Security Council, their respective share in the unencumbered balance of $805,000 gross ($891,000 net) for the period from 1 December 1993 to 30 November 1994, inclusive.  This action is pending.

II.  STATUS OF ASSESSED CONTRIBUTIONS

5. As at 31 July 1995, the total amount of $1,116.6 million had been appropriated and authorized for UNDOF and the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) for that period from inception to 30 November 1995.  The assessment among Member States in respect of UNDOF and UNEF for that period is $1,083.5 million. Contributions received for the same period amounted to $1,015.5 million.  The outstanding balance of $68 million includes an amount of $36 million transferred to a special account in accordance with General Assembly resolution 36/116 A of 10 December 1981 and an amount due of $32 million, as indicated in the status of contributions as at 31 July 1995.  The following table summarizes the status of contributions for UNDOF for the period from its inception to 31 July 1995.

III.  VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS

6. The General Assembly, in paragraph 13 of its resolution 49/225, invited voluntary contributions to UNDOF in cash and in the form of services and supplies acceptable to the Secretary-General.  No voluntary contribution has been received for the period under review.  The Government of Switzerland has continued to make available to UNDOF air ambulance service for the repatriation of those wounded or taken ill in the performance of their duties, as and when required.  This service was not utilized by UNDOF during the period from 1 September 1994 to 31 July 1995.

               IV.  COST ESTIMATE FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 DECEMBER 1995

                   TO 30 JUNE 1996

7. In order to conform to the new budget cycle from 1 July to 30 June based on General Assembly resolution 49/233 A of 23 December 1994, the present report contains cost estimates for the maintenance of UNDOF for the seven-month period from 1 December 1995 to 30 June 1996.  The budget for the 12-month period from 1 July 1996 to 30 June 1997 will be presented in due course as an addendum to the present report.

8. The present mandate of UNDOF expires on 30 November 1995.  Should the Security Council renew the mandate beyond that date, and assuming continuance of its existing responsibilities, the Secretary-General estimates the cost of UNDOF to be $2,679,000 gross ($2,603,000 net) per month from 1 December 1995 to 30 June 1996.  Appropriation and/or authorization to enter into commitments and assessment for UNDOF is, therefore, required for this period.  Accordingly, the Secretary-General requests that the General Assembly, at its present session, make appropriate provision for expenses of UNDOF for the period from 1 December 1995 to 30 June 1996, in the event the Security Council decides to renew its mandate.  The cost estimate for the seven-month period from 1 December 1995 to 30 June 1996 is summarized in annex I, column 3.  For purposes of comparison, the actual expenditure for the period from 1 December 1993 to 30 November 1994, prorated for seven months, is shown in column 1.  The apportionment for the period from 1 December 1994 to 30 November 1995, prorated for seven months, is shown in column 2. Supplementary information on the cost estimate is provided in annex II.

9. As presented, the estimate reflects an increase of .04 per cent on a monthly basis in gross terms from the monthly commitment authorization of $2,677,583 gross provided by the General Assembly in its resolution 49/225 for the period from 1 June 1995.  The increase is due primarily to additional requirements under international staff salaries and maintenance supplies for premises and accommodation.  The rate of post adjustment applicable to the duty station has increased, resulting in additional requirements under international staff salaries.  A wide range of construction engineering materials are required for preventive and routine maintenance of premises.

V.  STATUS OF REIMBURSEMENT TO TROOP-CONTRIBUTING STATES

10. Troops are currently being provided to UNDOF by the Governments of Austria, Canada, and Poland.  Full reimbursement in accordance with the standard rates of reimbursement for troop costs has been made through 31 May 1995.

                  VI.  ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

                       AT ITS FIFTIETH SESSION

11. The actions to be taken by the General Assembly at its fiftieth session in connection with the past and future financing of UNDOF are as follows:

(a) The appropriation of the amount of $16,065,498 gross ($15,564,000 net) for the period from 1 June to 30 November 1995, which was authorized and assessed on Member States in accordance with General Assembly resolution 49/225;

(b) The authorization to enter into commitments in an amount of $2,679,000 gross ($2,603,000 net) per month for the period beyond 30 November 1995 and assessment thereof, subject to a decision of the Security Council to renew the mandate of UNDOF beyond that date.
