UN General Assembly
1964

80. There is only one more subject I should like to touch upon before concluding my remarks, and that is the chronic problem of financing the Unitedd Nations peace-keeping operations, particularly the assessments on the United Nations Middle East and Congo operations.

The arguments on both sides — those who refuse to pay their full assessments and those who consequently demand full application of Article 19 of the Charter — merit careful consideration.
