Fifty-sixth General Assembly

Fifth Committee

39th Meeting (PM)


BUDGET COMMITTEE APPROVES SEVEN DRAFT RESOLUTIONS ON TRIBUNALS, DUES PAYMENTS,


UN COMMON SYSTEM, INTERNAL OVERSIGHT, POLITICAL MISSIONS


CORRECTION


The last paragraph on page 6, extending to the top of page 7 of Press Release GA/AB/3491 of 20 December 2001 should read:


EVA SILOT BRAVO (Cuba), speaking in explanation of position, said the substance of the text remained of concern to her delegation.  While it was constructive to address all measures to assist countries in arrears, the theme should be looked at in a broader context of the financial situation of the Organization.  It was unacceptable to establish a link between consideration of exemptions of countries in arrears and consideration of measures of the type addressed by the text.  The Committee should study the question on the basis of its own merits.
