DEBT TO MEMBER STATES
Amounts owed for troops and COE (In millions of US$) Actuals Projection for 2008 as at 24 October January 1,010779* New obligations 1,5221,679 Payments to Member States (1,753)(1,813) 31 December * Actual amount owed for troops and TCC as at 1 January 2008
Projected 2008 Debt Situation Increase in projected obligations compared to 2007 is primarily due to the deployment of troops in UNAMID partly offset by the reduction of the authorized military strength of UNMIL, lower deployment in UNIFIL and termination of UNMEE’s mandate. Payments for troops/formed police unit costs were current up to July 2008 for UNMEE and up to August 2008 for MINUSTAH, MONUC, UNAMID, UNDOF, UNIFIL, UNMIL, UNMIS, UNMIT and UNOCI. Payments for contingent-owned equipment and self-sustainment claims were current up to March 08 for MINUSTAH and UNOCI and up to June 08 for MONUC, UNDOF, UNIFIL, UNMEE, UNMIL, UNMIS, and UNMIT. Payments for troops/formed police units costs and contingent-owned equipment/self-sustainment are behind the quarterly payment schedule for MINURSO (up to March 02), UNOMIG (up to December 06), UNFICYP (up to May 07), and UNMIK (up to November 07). Payments for contingent-owned equipment and self-sustainment of troops are contingent on the timely finalization of the memoranda of understanding (MOUs) and subsequent submission of claims and their certification by DFS. As at the end of September 2008, out of 307 MOUs for all peacekeeping missions, 59 (19%) were yet to be finalized. 16
