The establishment of UNMIN has been an ongoing process over recent months. In order to
speed up the arrival of our key personnel, we requested and obtained from the Security Council authority to deploy arms monitors and electoral advisers even before a formal mandate was given by the Council. This gave us an important headstart that has enabled us to become operational on the ground. A key step to increasing the capacity of UNMIN to further support the peace process will be taken in New York today, when the Fifth Committee of the General Assembly is due to adopt the resolution giving UNMIN its budget. This will be an amount of $88,822,000, as recommended by the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions (ACABQ). This is only a little less than the $91,523,300 requested by the Secretary-General. The staffing of UNMIN will eventually grow to a little under 700 international personnel in all categories, including 186 arms monitors and 258 UN Volunteers, and a little under 400 national staff.
