The General Assembly

,

Having considered

the reports of the Secretary-General on the financing of the

United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus

1

and the related report of the

Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions,

2

Recalling

Security Council resolution 186 (1964) of 4 March 1964, regarding

the establishment of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus, and the

subsequent resolutions by which the Council extended the mandate of the Force, the

latest of which was resolution 1642 (2005) of 14 December 2005,

Recalling also

its resolution 47/236 of 14 September 1993 on the financing of

the Force for the period beginning 16 June 1993, and its subsequent resolutions and

decisions thereon, the latest of which was resolution 59/284 B of 22 June 2005,

Reaffirming

the general principles underlying the financing of United Nations

peacekeeping operations, as stated in General Assembly resolutions 1874 (S-IV) of

27 June 1963, 3101 (XXVIII) of 11 December 1973 and 55/235 of 23 December

2000,

Noting with appreciation

that voluntary contributions have been made to the

Force by certain Governments,

Noting

that voluntary contributions were insufficient to cover all the costs of

the Force, including those incurred by troop-contributing Governments prior to

16 June 1993, and regretting the absence of an adequate response to appeals for

voluntary contributions, including that contained in the letter dated 17 May 1994

from the Secretary-General to all Member States,

3

Mindful

of the fact that it is essential to provide the Force with the necessary

financial resources to enable it to fulfil its responsibilities under the relevant

resolutions of the Security Council,
