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 in the second half of the financial period (representing the final total) reflecting any changes approved by the General Assembly over the course of the financial period. 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.
