Remarks on Capital Master Plan
As per GA resolution 61/251 dated 22 December 2006, Member States were allowed a period of sixty days, beginning on 5 January 2007 to select the option of a one-time or a multi-year payment plan over a five-year period.
12 of the 192 Member States have selected the one-time payment option. Some countries, which did not select the one-time option, nevertheless paid the full amount.
As of 10 May 2011, out of a total of 192 Member States, 92 have paid assessments due and payable (matching the level attained 1 year ago), 95 Member States have made partial payments and 5 Member States have never paid any Capital Master Plan assessments.

CONCLUSIONS
33
Financial situation at the end of 2010 improved compared to end 2009. Cash on hand increased by $772 million, mainly in peacekeeping ($903 million).
Assessments issued increased by $3.5 billion in 2010 and the amount outstanding went up by only $938 million as at 10 May 2011.
Amount Outstanding ($millions)
10 May 2010 10 May 2011Regular budget 944 1,310Peacekeeping 1,239 1,716Tribunals 63 133CMP 91 116Total 2,337 3,275
A few peacekeeping missions continue to be affected by cash shortages. Cross-borrowing from the accounts of closed peacekeeping missions was required in 2011 for MINURSO, MONUSCO and UNMIK.
Payments for troops and formed police unit costs are current up to February 2011 for all 11 missions with liabilities for troop and FPU costs. Payments for contingent-owned equipment are current up to December 2010 for all missions with liabilities for COE, except for UNFICYP.
Unpaid assessments continue to be highly concentrated despite the overall improvement. The financial health of the Organization depends on Member States meeting their financial obligations in full and on time.
The Secretariat continues to inform Member States about their contributions and an online portal was launched last year for Member States to access information on the status of their contributions.
