1. USUN received a letter dated 30 June 2006 from the UN's
Department of Safety and Security (DSS),soliciting
contributions to the Trust Fund for Security of Staff Members
of the United Nations System. Begin text of letter:
The Secretariat of the United Nations presents its
compliments to the Permanent Mission of the United States of
America to the United Nations and has the honor to bring to
its attention paragraph 27 of resolution 60/123 adopted on 15
December 2005, wherein the General Assembly "...encourages
all States to contribute to the Trust Fund for Security of
Staff Members of the United Nations System".
The Trust Fund for security of staff members of the United
Nations system has been an indispensable tool that has
allowed the Department of Safety and Security (DSS) to
proactively implement essential programmes to promote the
security of the UN community in the field when no regular
funding was available. The Trust Fund was at the genesis of
several successful projects that are now integral parts of
the Department's programme of work, all of which would not
have been possible without the generous contribution received
from Member States through the Trust Fund.
The budget of the United Nations and UN system agencies,
funds and programmes has provided the UN Department of Safety
and Security with vital support that has allowed it to work
toward the provision of staff safety in approximately 150
countries in which the UN undertakes field operations.
Nevertheless, there continue to be critical requirements to
further ensure the security of United Nations personnel and
associated humanitarian workers, which is essential to the
delivery of humanitarian assistance and the protection of
civilians in armed conflict.
The Secretariat wishes to express its most sincere
appreciation to the Permanent Mission of the United States of
America to the United Nations for any support that the
Mission may be able to provide to the United Nations
Department of Safety and Security.
