The General Assembly,
 
      Having considered the reports of the Secretary-General on the financing
of the United Nations Mission in Haiti and the related reports of the Advisory
Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions,
 
      Recalling Security Council resolution 1007 (1995) of 31 July 1995, in
which the Council extended the mandate of the Mission for an additional period
of seven months, to 29 February 1996, in anticipation of the conclusion of the
mandate at that time, as well as all previous Security Council resolutions on
the Mission,
 
      Recalling also its decision 48/477 of 23 December 1993 on the financing
of the Mission and its subsequent resolutions and decisions thereon, the
latest of which was decision 50/407 B of 4 December 1995,
 
      Reaffirming that the costs of the Mission are expenses of the
Organization to be borne by Member States in accordance with Article 17,
paragraph 2, of the Charter of the United Nations,
 
      Recalling its previous decisions regarding the fact that, in order to
meet the expenditures caused by the Mission, a different procedure is required
from the one applied 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 developed countries have a relatively limited capacity
to contribute towards such an operation,
 
      Bearing in mind the special responsibilities of the States permanent
members of the Security Council, as indicated in General Assembly resolution
1874 (S-IV) of 27 June 1963, in the financing of such operations,
 
      Mindful of the fact that it is essential to provide the Mission with the
necessary financial resources to enable it to fulfil its responsibilities
under the relevant resolutions of the Security Council,
 
      1.    Takes note of the status of contributions to the United Nations
Mission in Haiti as at 13 December 1995, including the unpaid contributions in
the amount of 78,677,550 United States dollars, representing 33 per cent of
the total assessed contributions from the inception of the Mission to the
period ending 30 November 1995, notes that some 8 per cent of the Member
States have paid their assessed contributions in full, and urges all other
Member States concerned, particularly those in arrears, to ensure the payment
of their outstanding assessed contributions;
 
      2.    Expresses concern about the financial situation with regard to
peace-keeping activities, particularly as regards the reimbursement of troop
contributors, notably those troop-contributing Member States that have paid
their assessed contributions in full, which bear an additional burden owing to
overdue payments by Member States of their assessments;
 
      3.    Urges all Member States to make every possible effort to ensure
payment of their assessed contributions to the Mission promptly and in full;
 
      4.    Endorses the observations and recommendations contained in the
reports of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions;
 
      5.    Requests the Secretary-General to take all necessary action to
ensure that the Mission is administered with a maximum of efficiency and
economy; 
 
      6.    Decides, as an ad hoc arrangement and taking into account the
amount of 2,257,700 dollars gross (2,056,600 dollars net) already apportioned
in accordance with General Assembly resolution 48/246 of 5 April 1994 and
decision 49/468 of 23 December 1994, to apportion the additional amount of
3,644,800 dollars gross (3,650,500 dollars net) for the period from 1 August
1994 to 31 January 1995 among Member States in accordance with the composition

and taking into account the scale of assessments for the year 1994 to be
applied against a portion thereof, that is, 3,030,730 dollars gross (3,035,470
dollars net), which is the amount pertaining on a pro rata basis to the period
ending 31 December 1994, and the scale of assessments for the year 1995 to be
applied against the balance, that is, 614,070 dollars gross (615,030 dollars
net), for the period from 1 to 31 January 1995 inclusive;
 
      7.    Decides also that, in accordance with the provisions of its
resolution 973 (X) of 15 December 1955, the apportionment among Member States,
as provided for in paragraph 6 above, shall take into consideration the
decrease in their respective share in the Tax Equalization Fund of the

for the period from 1 August 1994 to 31 January 1995;
 
      9.    Decides that, for Member States that have not fulfilled their

obligations;
 
      10.   Decides to appropriate to the Special Account for the United
Nations Mission in Haiti a total amount of 152,011,500 dollars gross
(149,680,400 dollars net) for the period from 1 August 1995 to 29 February

                                        B
 
      The General Assembly,
 
      Having considered the report of the Secretary-General on the financing
of the United Nations Mission in Haiti and the related report of the Advisory
Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions,
 
      Recalling Security Council resolution 1048 (1996) of 29 February 1996,
in which the Council extended the mandate of the Mission for a final period of
four months, to 30 June 1996, and requested the Secretary-General to initiate
planning not later than 1 June 1996 for the complete withdrawal of the
Mission, as well as all previous Security Council resolutions on the Mission,
 
      Recalling also its decision 48/477 of 23 December 1993 on the financing
of the Mission and its subsequent resolutions and decisions thereon, the

countries are in a position to make relatively larger contributions and that
the economically less developed countries have a relatively limited capacity
to contribute towards such an operation,

their outstanding assessed contributions;

peace-keeping activities, in particular as regards the reimbursement of troop

time;

report of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions;
 
      6.    Approves, on an exceptional basis, the special arrangements for

support to the Mission shall be retained beyond the period stipulated under
financial regulations 4.3 and 4.4, as set out in the annex to the present
resolution;
 
      7.    Requests the Secretary-General to take all necessary action to
ensure that the Mission is administered with a maximum of efficiency and
economy; 
 
      8.    Decides to appropriate to the Special Account for the United
Nations Mission in Haiti the amount of 45,314,000 dollars gross (44,348,400
