States to Retain Control of Expenditures from Alternative Source of Revenue
The following statement was issued today by the Spokesman for Secretary- General Boutros Boutros-Ghali:
Over the past months, the Secretary-General has repeatedly called the attention of Member States to the very critical financial situation of the United Nations and has encouraged discussions on a number of far-reaching suggestions to alleviate the problem.
The United Nations operation in Somalia, the first time peace-keepers ventured into a failed State, was one of the most complex and intensely debated in the Organization's history.
