UN General Assembly

64. It is indeed regrettable that, despite the fact that peace-keeping operations like UNIFIL have proved their usefulness, their financial situation remains precarious. We fully concur with the following observations made by the Secretary-General in his report to the Assembly on the work of the Organization: "This situation places a heavy burden on the troop- contributing countries which, if allowed to continue, may adversely affect the future of such operations." The troop-contributing countries, and particularly developing countries such as mine, continue to suffer from the failure of some to share the financial burden of peacekeeping. Since the maintenance of international peace and security is a collective responsibility, we hope that all will fulfil their financial obligations in this regard.
