S/2005/313/Add.1 United Nations Security Council Distr.: General 23 June 2005 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti Addendum 1. Further to my report on the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) dated 13 May 2005 (S/2005/313), I wish to inform the Security Council that the financial implications of my recommendations to enhance the capacity of the Mission included in paragraphs 46 to 49 of the report are currently projected at some $62.6 million for a 12-month period, including $47.7 million in recurrent and $14.9 million in non-recurrent costs. 2. The projections provide for the deployment of 800 additional military personnel, comprising one additional infantry battalion of 750 troops and 50 staff officers, as well as 275 additional civilian police officers, including 125 in one additional formed unit. The projections also provide for the emplacement of 26 international civilian personnel, 38 national personnel and 29 United Nations Volunteers. 3. An indicative breakdown of the financial implications of the proposed increase of the military and police component ceilings of the Mission by main categories of expenditure is provided, for information purposes, in the annex to the present addendum. 4. It is my recommendation to the General Assembly that, should the Security Council endorse my recommendations, the related costs be considered an expense of the Organization to be borne by Member States in accordance with Article 17, paragraph 2, of the Charter of the United Nations, and that the assessments levied on Member States be credited to the Special Account for MINUSTAH. 05-39650 (E) 240605 *0539650* S/2005/313/Add.1 Annex Cost estimates for the expansion of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti for a 12-month period (Thousands of United States dollars) Category Cost estimates Military and police personnel Military contingents 27 514.5 Civilian police Formed police units 7 490.3 4 911.4 Subtotal 39 916.2 Civilian personnel International staff 3 417.0 National staff United Nations Volunteers 602.1 1 204.8 Subtotal 5 223.9 Operational costs General temporary assistance — Government-provided personnel — Civilian electoral observers — Consultants 24.0 Official travel — Facilities and infrastructure 9 906.1 Ground transportation 2 834.8 Air transportation Naval transportation Communications — 2 190.8 Information technology 379.0 Medical 432.4 Special equipment 349.2 Other supplies, services and equipment Quick-impact projects 1 282.3 — Subtotal 17 503.6 Gross requirements 62 643.7 Staff assessment income 419.5 Net requirements 62 224.2 Voluntary contributions in kind (budgeted) Total requirements 2 105.0 — 62 643.7
