Approved resources for peacekeeping operations

Each peacekeeping mission (with the exception of UNMOGIP and UNTSO) is financed through its own budget. However, all share the same 1 July-30 June financial period. As requested in General Assembly resolution 49/233A, the Secretary-General issues a summary document on approved resources for peacekeeping operations for each financial period.

Generally, two documents are issued each year, the first following the approval of the budgets by the General Assembly in June (representing what was approved at the start of the financial period) and one after the start of the calendar year reflecting any additional resources or commitment authority approved during the main session. These changes can be the result of processes such as changes to mission mandates (including start-up, expansion or draw-down), supplementary requests or revised estimates. It is possible that the second summary table is not the final approved level, as there have been instances during which additional requirements for the existing financial period have been submitted as late as during the second part of the resumed session. As such, the final approved levels are generally reflected in a subsequent overview reports.
