India Again Makes it to UN's Honour Roll
India has once again shown its commitment to the United Nations by paying its dues on time. The Permanent Mission of India in New York announced on Tuesday that India is on the UN's 'Honour Roll' for paying its regular budget assessments in full and within the 30-day deadline.
What is the Honour Roll?
The 'Honour Roll' is a list of UN Member States who have paid their dues within 30 days of receiving a payment note. This is based on Financial Regulation 3.5 of the UN. It's like a special recognition for countries that fulfill their financial commitments to the UN promptly.
How Does the UN Budget Work?
Every year in December, the UN General Assembly approves the UN's budget. Each member country's share is decided based on what's called the 'Scale of Assessment'. Then, in early January, the UN sends payment notes to each country letting them know how much they need to pay.
India's Consistent Contribution
India has always been one of the countries that pays on time, showing its support for the UN. The statement highlighted that India's prompt payment shows its strong commitment to the UN Charter and its goals. India believes in keeping the UN financially stable so it can work effectively.
A Responsible Member of the Global Community
By paying its dues on time and being on the Honour Roll, India shows that it's a responsible member of the UN. It shows India's dedication to working with other countries for global peace and development.
India and the UN
India plays a significant role in various UN initiatives. India believes in working together with the global community to find solutions to world problems. It has also taken part in UN peacekeeping missions around the world.
