MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On February 16, 2006, President Bush requested an additional $69.8 million for
payment in FY2006 of U.S. contributions to assessed U.N. peacekeeping operations (CIPA),
especially for the Sudan. On June 15, 2006, Congress sent to the President H.R. 4939,
including in the FY2006 supplemental, $129.8 million for the CIPA account. On June 9,
2006, the House passed H.R. 5522, the Foreign Operations Appropriations Act, including
$170 million for the PKO account.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The role of the United Nations (U.N.) in facilitating dispute settlement and establishing
peacekeeping operations to monitor cease-fires and participate in other duties as assigned by
the U.N. Security Council increased markedly in the late 1980s. Between April 1988 and
April 1994, a total of 20 peacekeeping operations were set up, involving 16 different
situations. Since May 1994, however, the pace of Council creation of new U.N. controlled
peacekeeping operations dropped noticeably. This occurred as a result of the U.S. decision,
in Presidential Decision Directive 25 (PDD 25), signed May 1994, to follow strict criteria
for determining its support for an operation. (See text at [http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/
pdd25.htm]). This U.S. decision was accompanied by a Security Council statement adopting
similar criteria.
If the situations at the start of 1988 and more recent years are compared, the following
picture emerges:
! When 1988 started, only five U.N. peacekeeping operations existed, with
four in the Middle East region. At the end of 2004, the U.N. supported 16
operations worldwide.
! When 1988 started, the annual estimated U.N. peacekeeping cost was
$268.2 million; the CY1994 estimate was $3.5 billion; $3.4 billion in
CY1995; $1.5 billion for CY1996; $1.2 billion for CY1997; $907 million
in CY1998; and $1.1 billion in CY1999.
! U.S. contributions for assessed peacekeeping accounts in 1988 totaled $36.7
million. Actual CY1994 U.S. payments to U.N. peacekeeping accounts
were $991.4 million; $359 million in CY1996; $518.6 million in CY2000;
$1.3 billion (included arrears payments) in CY2001; and $703.4 million in
CY2003.
! When 1988 started, the U.S. military participated, as observers, in one U.N.
operation, the U.N. Truce Supervision Organization in Palestine (36
officers). As of December 31, 1995, a total of 2,851 U.S. military personnel
served under U.N. control in 7 operations. As of December 31, 2003, 518
U.S. personnel served in 7 operations and as of the end of 2004, 429 U.S.
personnel served in 7 operations.

Current Funding Situation
On February 6, 2006, the Bush Administration requested, in its FY2007 budget,
$1,135,327,000 to pay U.S. assessed contributions to U.N. peacekeeping operations in the
State Department’s Contributions to International Peacekeeping Activities (CIPA) account.
The CIPA request contained $44.303 million for the two war crimes tribunals (Yugoslavia
and Rwanda) that are not peacekeeping operations. Bush also requested $200.5 million in
voluntary contributions for the FY2006 Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) account under the
Foreign Operations Act. This account would finance the U.S. contribution to the Multilateral
Force and Observers in the Sinai (MFO), a non-U.N. peacekeeping operation, and U.S.
support of regional and international peacekeeping efforts in Africa, Asia, and Europe. On
June 9, 2006, the House provided $170 million in the FY2007 PKO account.
On February 16, 2006, President Bush requested, in a FY2006 supplemental, an
additional $69.8 million for CIPA and $123 million for PKO, provided that such sums [of
the PKO funds] as may be necessary may be transferred to and merged with CIPA for
peacekeeping operations in Sudan. On June 15, the Congress sent to the President H.R.
4939, providing $129.8 million for the CIPA account and $178 million for the PKO account..
On November 22, 2005, the President had signed H.R. 2862 which included, in the
State Department Appropriations Act, FY2006, the requested $1,035,500,000 for the CIPA
account, of which 15 percent shall be available until September 30, 2007 (P.L. 109-108,
Signed November 22, 2005). The actual amount available, after a recision adjustment, was
$1,022,275,000. The Foreign Operations Appropriations Act, FY2006, was enacted, with
$175 million for the PKO account (P.L. 109-102, November 14, 2005). Earlier in 2005, the
President signed H.R. 1268 (P.L. 109-13, May 11, 2005), a FY2005 Supplemental that
provided $680 million for CIPA for FY2005 ($50 million of this was transferred to the PKO
account, leaving $630 million available).
FY1997-FY2001 U.N. peacekeeping requests were at an assessment level of 25%, per
Section 404 (b)(2), P.L. 103-236, rather than at the level assessed by the United Nations.
The scale of assessments for U.N. peacekeeping is based on a modification of the U.N.
regular budget scale, with the five permanent U.N. Security Council members assessed at a
higher level than for the regular budget. Since 1992, U.S. policy was to seek a U.N. General
Assembly reduction of the U.S. peacekeeping assessment to 25%, meaning an increase of
other countries’ assessments. Since October 1, 1995, by congressional requirement, U.S.
peacekeeping payments had been limited to 25%. This limit, or cap, on U.S. payments added
to U.S. arrearages for peacekeeping.

In late December 2000, the U.N. General Assembly reduced the U.S. regular budget
assessment level to 22%, effective January 1, 2001, and, in effect, reduced the U.S.
assessment for peacekeeping contributions progressively to 25%, possibly by 2004 or 2005.
In response, Congress passed S. 248 (signed, October 5, 2001, P.L. 107-46), which amended
the 1999 enacted legislation authorizing payment of U.S. arrears on its contributions to the
United Nations, once certain conditions had been met. One of the conditions required
Assembly reduction of the U.S. peacekeeping assessment level to 25%. S. 248 changed that
condition figure to 28.15%.
In 2002 (Sec. 402, P.L. 107-228), Congress raised the 25% cap for peacekeeping
payments that had been set by P.L. 103-236 to a range of 28.15% for CY2001 through 27.4%
for CY2003 and CY2004. (Table 1 under “Recognized by U.S.” reflects these changes.)
This would enable current U.S. peacekeeping assessments to be paid in full. Section 411 of
Division B of P.L. 108-447, signed December 8, 2004, continued the cap for assessments
made during CY 2005 at 27.1%.
However, FY2006 legislation did not include a provision on the cap, which returned
to 25% for CY2006. The Senate on April 6, 2005, had accepted an amendment in S. 600,
FY2006-2007 Foreign Relations Authorization, that would drop the assessment cap
limitation changes, returning the cap to 25%. The Foreign Relations Committee, in S.Rept.
109-35, had recommended a permanent change to 27.1%. The Senate did not complete
action on S. 600. On December 13, 2005, Senator Biden introduced S. 2095 that would set
the cap for assessments made for CY2005 and CY2006 at 27.1%. The President’s February
6, 2006, budget request included legislative language that would set the cap at 27.1% for
assessments made during CY 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.
Since 1997, pursuant to a provision in the State Department Appropriations Act, 1997,
in P.L. 104-208 (Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act, 1997), Congress has required
the Secretary of State to notify it 15 days before U.S. support of a U.N. Security Council
resolution setting up a new or expanding a current peacekeeping operation. The notification
is to include “the estimated cost and length of the mission, the vital national interest that will
be served, and the planned exit strategy.” A reprogramming request, indicating the source
of funding for the operation, is also required. Tradition has sometimes resulted in the
practice of a committee or subcommittee chairman “placing a hold” on the proposed
reallocation in the reprogramming request, if it is not acceptable to him or her.

Basic Information
United Nations peacekeeping might be defined as the placement of military personnel
or forces in a country or countries to perform basically non-military functions in an impartial
manner. These functions might include supervision of a cessation of hostilities agreement
or truce, observation or presence, interposition between opposing forces as a buffer force,
maintenance and patrol of a border, or removal of arms in the area. The U.N. Security
Council normally establishes peacekeeping operations in keeping with certain basic
principles, which include agreement and continuing support by the Security Council;
agreement by the parties to the conflict and consent of the host government(s); unrestricted
access and freedom of movement by the operation within the countries of operation and
within the parameters of its mandate; provision of personnel on a voluntary basis by U.N.
members; noninterference by the operation and its participants in the internal affairs of the
host government; and avoidance of the use of armed force to carry out the mandate.

Since 1948, the United Nations has established 60 peacekeeping operations, 15 of which
are currently active. Between 1991 and 1998, the rate of creation of operations followed this
pattern (five: 1991, four: 1992, six: 1993, two: 1994, four: 1995, three: 1996, four: 1997, and
three: 1998), showing an increase and subsequent reduction as the Council sought to ensure
that peacekeeping was appropriate for the crisis. (For further data, see Appendix 1.)
Section 7 of the U.N. Participation Act (UNPA) of 1945, as amended (P.L. 79- 264),
authorized the President to detail up to 1,000 members of the U.S. armed forces to the United
Nations in a noncombatant capacity. (See CRS Report RL31120, Peacekeeping: Military
Command and Control Issues, by Edward F. Bruner and Nina M. Serafino, for discussion
of foreign command issues.) Throughout U.N. history, the United States has provided
various goods and services, including logistics, and has detailed its military to U.N.
peacekeeping tasks, but in small numbers. Before 1990, the major U.S. provision of forces
were the individual U.S. military officers participating as observers in the UNTSO. The
President has also used the authority in section 628 of the Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) of
1961, to provide U.S. armed forces personnel to U.N. peacekeeping operations. Under this
section, such personnel may be detailed or sent to provide “technical, scientific or
professional advice or service” to any international organization.
As of May 31, 2006, an estimated 312 U.S. personnel served under U.N. control in
seven operations and in two special political missions. Other than the civilian police in four
operations, these were U.S. military personnel. See Table 3. The United States currently
contracts with an outside firm to provide U.S. civilian police, either active duty on a leave
of absence, former, or retired. They are hired for a year at a time and paid by the contractor.
These contracts are financed from Foreign Operations Act accounts. A total of 73,235
personnel from 109 countries served in 15 U.N. peacekeeping operations.

peacekeeping to expedite peaceful settlement in internal conflict situations or to ensure the
delivery of humanitarian assistance to starving and homeless populations within their
countries. Some observers have suggested that the principle of nonintervention, incorporated
in Article 2, paragraph 7 of the U.N. Charter, had been modified by Security Council
Resolution 688 (1991), in which the Council “insist(ed) that Iraq allow immediate access by
international humanitarian organizations to all those in need of assistance in all parts of Iraq.”
Others cited Council Resolution 687 (1991), the cease-fire resolution, which imposed on Iraq
a number of requirements that might be viewed as intervention into the territorial sovereignty
and independence of that country.
While the Security Council had, in the past, been reluctant to approve humanitarian
assistance as the major or primary function of a peacekeeping operation, it has now moved
away from that position. The Council established protection for humanitarian operations in
Somalia as part of the major mandate for its operation there (UNOSOM) and added
humanitarian protection to an expanded mandate for the operation (UNPROFOR) in Bosnia
and Herzegovina. On December 3, 1992, the Security Council took unprecedented action,
under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, in authorizing the Secretary-General and Member
States cooperating “to use all necessary means to establish as soon as possible a secure
environment for humanitarian relief operations in Somalia.” The result was the Unified Task
Force (UNITAF), a U.N.- authorized operation under a U.S.-led unified command. This was
not a U.N. peacekeeping operation, but cooperated with the U.N. operation in Somalia
(UNOSOM). UNITAF ended on May 4, 1993.
The Role of U.N. Peacekeeping in Monitoring Elections. With increasing
frequency, some authorities have called for the United Nations to supervise and monitor
elections in various countries. In the past, the United Nations had not responded
affirmatively to such requests. In fact, in June 1989 Secretary-General Javier Perez de
Cuellar, when considering Nicaragua’s request for U.N. participation in its electoral process,
characterized U.N. acceptance of election supervision in an independent country as
“unprecedented.”
However, recent examples exist of such U.N. election supervision, with a U.N.
peacekeeping component to ensure security, authorized and established by the U.N. Security
Council. In the case of Namibia (UNTAG, 1989-1990), Western Sahara (MINURSO,
1991-), and Cambodia (UNTAC, 1992-1994), the election is an act of self- determination,
as part of an overall conflict settlement arrangement. This referendum or election is similar
to the traditional role of the U.N. in the decolonization process.
In two other instances, the U.N. took on elections monitoring in an independent U.N.
member state. In both cases, the action was authorized and created by the U.N. General
Assembly, not by the U.N. Security Council. The U.N. Observer Mission in Nicaragua
(ONUVEN) involved U.N. civilian observers monitoring the election process in Nicaragua
in 1989-1990 and did not include military or security forces. It was, however, part of the
efforts to achieve a peaceful settlement in Central America. The case of election monitoring
in Haiti in 1990-1991 did not include a role clearly identified as U.N. peacekeeping, but the
United Nations Observer Group for the Verification of the Elections in Haiti (ONUVEH)
included a security component that consisted of 64 security observers, 36 of whom were
drawn from U.N. peacekeeping operations.

U.S. Financing for U.N. Peacekeeping
There are three major ways by which U.S. contributions to U.N. peacekeeping
operations have been funded. First, Congress currently finances U.S. contributions to these
operations through the Department of State authorization and appropriation bills (under
Contributions to International Peacekeeping Activities (CIPA) in the International
Organizations and Conferences account). These are the peacekeeping operations for which
the U.N. General Assembly creates a separate assessed account against which every U.N.
member state is obligated to pay a specific percent of the expenses of the operation.
Arrearages to peacekeeping operations exist only in connection with these assessed accounts.
Second, Congress formerly funded one U.N. operation — the U.N. Peacekeeping Force
in Cyprus (UNFICYP) — from the foreign operations authorization and appropriation bills
(under Peacekeeping Operations (PKO) in the Military Assistance account). The U.S.
contribution was funded this way because the Cyprus force was financed from voluntary
contributions from U.N. member nations. On May 27, 1993, the Security Council changed
the basis of funding for the force on Cyprus, from solely voluntary to voluntary plus
assessed. Future funding for U.S. contributions to UNFICYP has moved, in the
Administration’s request, from the Foreign Operations, Military Assistance, PKO account
to the State Department, CIPA account. Finally, Congress funds the U.S. contribution to
some U.N. observer peacekeeping operations as part of its regular budget payment to the
United Nations. There is no separate U.N.-assessed account for these groups. This is
currently how the U.N. Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) and the U.N. Military
Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) are funded.
Because U.N. peacekeeping requirements may arise out of sequence with the U.S.
budget planning cycle, the President and Congress have had to devise extraordinary methods
for acquiring initial funding for U.S. contributions to the operations. Over the past several
years, these included reprogramming from other pieces of the international affairs budget,
such as Economic Support Fund money obligated in past years for specific countries but not
disbursed. Another approach used was the transfer of funds to the international affairs
budget from the Department of Defense for funding U.N. peacekeeping operations.
In addition, in 1994 and 1995, President Clinton proposed that U.S. assessed
contributions for peacekeeping operations, for which Chapter VII of the Charter is
specifically cited in the authorizing Security Council resolution, be financed under the
Defense Department authorization/appropriations bills. He proposed that the U.S. assessed
contribution for any other U.N. peacekeeping operations for which a large U.S. combat
contingent is present also be financed from Defense Department money. Congress did not
support this proposal.
Proposals for Strengthening U.N. Peacekeeping
As peacekeeping became an option of choice in seeking a resolution of conflict
situations in the post-Cold War world, proposals were made for strengthening the U.N.
response to all aspects of this peace and security phenomenon. In June 1992, for example,
then U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali issued a report, “An Agenda for Peace;

Preventive Diplomacy, Peacemaking and Peacekeeping,” which offered several
recommendations relating to military force, peace enforcement, and peacekeeping. The
report can be found on the U.N. website at [http://www.un.org/Docs/SG/agpeace.html].
On August 23, 2000, a special Panel on United Nations Peace Operations, convened by
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, issued a report presenting its recommendations aimed
at improving the U.N.’s peace and security capabilities. Annan had asked the Panel to
“assess the shortcomings of the existing system and to make frank, specific and realistic
recommendations for change.” (See text of the nearly 70-page report at
[http://www.un.org/peace/reports/peace_operations/].) Annan requested the Deputy
Secretary-General to follow up on implementing the report’s recommendations. Followup
on implementation has continued, both in the Security Council and the General Assembly.
The United States and Peacekeeping Proposals
The Clinton Administration initially supported collective security through the U.N. as
a centerpiece among its foreign policy objectives. Later, President Clinton, in a September
1993 speech to the U.N. General Assembly, called on the Security Council to review closely
each proposal for an operation before determining whether to establish it, saying that “the
United Nations simply cannot become engaged in every one of the world’s conflicts.” He
supported “creation of a genuine U.N. peacekeeping headquarters with a planning staff, with
access to timely intelligence, with a logistics unit that can be deployed on a moment’s notice,
and a modern operations center with global communications.” Clinton urged that U.N.
operations be adequately and fairly funded, saying he was “committed to work with the
United Nations” in reducing the U.S. assessment for peacekeeping. In May 1994, Clinton
signed Presidential Decision Directive 25 on Reforming Peace Operations. The policy
recommended 11 steps to strengthen U.N. management of peacekeeping operations and
offered U.S. support for strengthening the planning, logistics, information, and command and
control capabilities of the United Nations. The policy also supported reducing the U.S.
peacekeeping assessment from 31.7% to 25%.
In a May 16, 2000, statement to a U.N. General Assembly committee, U.S. Ambassador
Richard Holbrooke presented reform proposals aimed at strengthening U.N. capacities for
U.N. peacekeeping and at changing the basis for financing U.N. peacekeeping. (See USUN
Press Release #62 (00) at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations website.) An August 24,
2000, a statement by the State Department spokesman “commended” the work of the U.N.
Panel on Peace Operations, noting that “the United States has been one of the earliest and
most insistent voices calling for improvement in planning, the pace of deployment, and
overall effectiveness in peacekeeping.”
Congressional Perspectives: 1991-2005
Congress demonstrated its support for U.N. peacekeeping in a number of ways during
1991 and 1992. U.S. contributions for the U.N. Iraq-Kuwait Observation Mission were
appropriated (P.L. 102-55). Funds for U.S. contributions for U.N. peacekeeping operations
and also for the portion of U.S. arrearages to be paid from FY1992 money were authorized

and appropriated in 1991 (P.L. 102-138; P.L. 102-140) and additional funds were made
available in 1992 for the rapidly increasing number of peacekeeping operations (P.L.
102-266; P.L. 102-311; P.L. 102-368; and P.L. 102-395). This funding was important as
demands for new U.N. actions worldwide increased.
During 1992, some in Congress focused on finding new sources of funding for U.S.
contributions to U.N. peacekeeping obligations while others explored new directions for the
United Nations in the area of peace and security. Senator Simon’s bill, for example,
suggested that the United States finance its peacekeeping contributions from the defense
budget function, as a larger and more reliable source. Proponents of this proposal pointed
to the extent to which U.N. peacekeeping advances U.S. national security interests. Section
1342 of the Defense Authorization Act, P.L. 102-484, authorized the Secretary of Defense
to obligate up to $300 million from defense appropriations to, among other things, fund U.S.
peacekeeping contributions if the funding is not available from the State Department’s CIPA
account. Congress, in P.L. 102-484, asked the President for a report on the proposals made
in “An Agenda for Peace.” President Bush sent that report to Congress on January 19, 1993.
In 1993, in contrast, Congress did not provide all the funding requested by the President
for financing U.S. contributions to U.N. peacekeeping. Congress appropriated $401.6
million of the $619.7 million requested in the CIPA account in the State Department
Appropriations Act, FY1994 (P.L. 103-121, October 27, 1993). The Foreign Operations Act
included $75,623,000 of the $77,166,000 requested for Peacekeeping Operations under the
Military Assistance account (P.L. 103-87, September 3, 1993). Finally, Congress did not
appropriate the $300 million requested in the Department of Defense budget for DOD
peacekeeping support.
Further, Congress’s concerns in this area were expressed in a series of requirements
included in the conference report on State Department appropriations. They included:
! Recommend that the Administration review thoroughly the current process of committing
to peacekeeping operations.
! Expect the Administration to notify the U.N. that the U.S. will not accept an assessment
greater than 25% for any new or expanded peacekeeping commitments after the date of
enactment of this act.
! Expect the State Department in its FY1995 budget submission to include an annual
three-year projection of U.S. peacekeeping costs and submit a detailed plan identifying U.S.
actions needed to correct policy and structural deficiencies in U.S. involvement with U.N.
peacekeeping activities.
! Expect the Secretary of State to notify both appropriations committees 15 days in advance,
where practicable, of a vote by the U.N. Security Council to establish any new or expanded
peacekeeping operation.
! Expect the notification to include the total estimated cost, the U.S. share, the mission and
objectives, duration and estimated termination date, and the source of funding for the U.S.
share.
Similar concerns and requirements were placed in statutory language in the Defense
Appropriations Act, FY1994 (Section 8153, P.L. 103- 139, November 11, 1993) and the
National Defense Authorization Act, FY1994 (Title XI, P.L. 103-160, November 30, 1993).

Note: Except for the U.N. Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), U.S. assessed contributions to U.N. peacekeeping
are funded from CIPA account, State Department. U.S. money for UNFICYP was originally financed by
voluntary contributions, funded through the Foreign Operations Act.
a. “Requested” includes $142.4 million for arrears payment; “Enacted” includes $50 million for arrears.
b. Both “Requested” and “Enacted” include $46 million for arrears payment.
c. $11.55 million of “Enacted” was transferred to the CIO account, leaving $219.450 million.
d. $43 million requested, March 21, 2002, in Emergency FY2002 Supplemental Appropriation. P.L. 107-206
provided $23,034,000. Included in the Enacted figure is $42.206 million, which was transferred from
the CIPA to the CIO account, leaving $801.933 million for allocation.
In 1994, the State Department appropriations bill (P.L. 103-317, August 26, 1994)
included the requested $533.3 million in the FY1995 CIPA account and $670 million for the
FY1994 CIPA supplemental appropriations. The foreign operations appropriations
legislation (P.L. 103-306, August 23, 1994) also contained the requested $75 million for
peacekeeping and peace support and a provision allowing a transfer of $850,000 to IMET
for training of other countries’ troops for U.N. peacekeeping duty. The FY1995 National
Defense Authorization bill (H.R. 4301) and the FY1995 DOD Appropriations Bill (H.R.
4650) were enacted without the $300 million requested to finance U.S.-assessed
contributions to three U.N. operations.
Congress, in early 1996, responded to the President’s February 1995 request by
appropriating $359 million ($445 million requested) for FY1996 CIPA funding (P.L.
CRS-10

104-134, April 26, 1996) and $70 million ($100 million requested) for the PKO account
(P.L. 104-107, February 12, 1996). Congress rejected the President’s request for $672
million in FY1995 emergency supplemental funding in the CIPA account. Congress also
rejected the Administration’s proposal that part ($65 million) of the U.S. assessed
contributions to two U.N. peacekeeping operations in which U.S. military personnel
participated, Haiti (UNMIH) and Macedonia (UNPREDEP), be funded from Defense
Department appropriations.
Congress, in 1996, provided $352.4 million for U.S. assessments to U.N. peacekeeping
accounts in the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act, FY1997 (P.L. 104-208). This
included $50 million for U.S. peacekeeping arrears accumulated in 1995. Release of the
arrears funding depended on an Administration certification that two of three U.N.
non-peacekeeping-related actions occur: (1) savings of $100 million in biennial expenses of
five U.N. divisions; (2) reduction in the number of U.N. staff at December 31, 1997, by at
least 10% of the number employed on January 1, 1996; (3) adoption of a budget outline for
1998-1999 lower than the current budget level of $2.608 billion. In addition, conferees
expected that up to $20 million in the account would be available for contingencies related
to African crises. Use of these funds was subject to Committee review procedures.
Furthermore, Congress stipulated that none of the funds in the CIPA account shall be
spent for any new or expanded U.N. peacekeeping mission unless the appropriate committees
are notified, at least 15 days before a U.N. Security Council vote. The notification should
provide the estimated cost, length of mission, and planned exit strategy. A reprogramming
of funds is to be submitted, including the source of funds for the mission and a certification
that American manufacturers and suppliers are given opportunities equal to those given to
foreign sources to provide equipment, services, and materials for U.N. peacekeeping
activities. Congress appropriated $65 million for the PKO account, but stipulated that none
of the funds shall be obligated or expended, except as provided through regular notification
procedures of the Appropriations committees.
In 1997, Congress appropriated $256 million ($286 million requested) for the FY1998
CIPA (including $46 million for prior year payments/arrears) and $77.5 million ($90 million
requested) for the FY1998 PKO account. Release of $46 million for arrears payments was
contingent on passage of an authorization package linking arrears payments to specific U.N.
reforms. Release of part of the PKO funds, for the MFO, was contingent on the Secretary
of State filing a report on the status of efforts to replace the Director-General of the MFO
(letter sent March 18, 1998).

In 1998, Congress appropriated the requested $231 million for U.S. assessed
contributions to U.N. peacekeeping operations (CIPA) and $76.5 million ($83 million
requested) for international peacekeeping activities (PKO). Congress, however, did not
include funds ($921 million) sought in a FY1998 supplemental to pay U.N. and international
organization arrears in FY1999 ($475 million) and FY2000 ($446 million).
In 1999, Congress appropriated $500 million for payment of U.S. assessed contributions
to U.N. peacekeeping accounts in the State Department Appropriations Act and $153 million
for voluntary contributions to international peacekeeping activities in the Foreign Operations
Appropriations Act, both of which were incorporated by reference into the Omnibus
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2000, P.L. 106-113.

Congress also sent the President in H.R. 3194 (106th Congress), the State Department
Authorization Act for FY2000-FY2001 (H.R. 3427), which authorized $500 million for the
CIPA account for FY2000 and “such sums as may be necessary for FY2001” and contained
a number of peacekeeping-related provisions. One provision required an annual report to
the United Nations on all U.S. costs (“assessed, voluntary, and incremental”) incurred in
support of all U.N. Security Council passed peace activities and required the President to
request the United Nations to compile and publish a report on the costs incurred by all U.N.
members in support of U.N. peacekeeping activities. Another provision amended the U.N.
Participation Act requiring the President to obtain timely U.N. reimbursement for U.S. goods
and services valued over $3 million per fiscal year, per operation, provided to the United
Nations. Another section codified in the U.N. Participation Act language previously enacted
on consultations and reports on United Nations Peacekeeping Operations. Lastly, this
legislation provided for U.S. arrears payments of $819 million to the United Nations for
regular budget and peacekeeping accounts for FY1998, FY1999, and FY2000. In addition,
section 913 provided for the forgiveness of $107 million in amounts owed by the United
Nations to the United States in reimbursements for peacekeeping troops. The primary
benchmarks relating to peacekeeping included a 25% ceiling on peacekeeping assessments
and no funding for or development of a U.N. standing army.
In 2000, Congress appropriated $846 million for the FY2001 CIPA account, in response
to the President’s request of $738.6 million for FY2001 and a FY2000 supplemental of $107
million. Congress did not approve the supplemental for FY2000. In June 2000, the House
Appropriations Committee, in recommending a smaller appropriation, expressed its “gravest
concern” over what it called “the Administration’s tendency to...extend moribund missions
and to establish and expand missions irrespective of Congressional input or the availability
of funding to pay for them.” The $134 million requested for the FY2001 PKO account was
reduced in the Foreign Operations appropriations bill to $127 million (P.L. 106-429).
On October 5, 2001, the President signed legislation amending the Foreign Relations
Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 2000-2001 (P.L. 107-46). This bill revised a condition
prohibiting the obligation of appropriated funds for payment of U.S. arrearages for assessed
contributions to the United Nations until the share of the budget for each assessed U.N.
peacekeeping operation does not exceed 28.15% for any single U.N. member. On November
28, 2001, the President signed H.R. 2500, appropriating funds for the State Department,
including the amount requested for the FY2002 CIPA account (P.L. 107-77). The law
includes a provision requiring that 15% ($126,620,850) of the $844,139,000 appropriated
for CIPA remain available until September 30, 2003. On January 10, 2002, the President
signed H.R. 2506, providing $135 million ($150 million requested) in voluntary
contributions for the FY2002 PKO account under the Foreign Operations Act.
On March 21, 2002, President Bush, in his Emergency FY2002 Supplemental
Appropriations request (H.Doc. 107-195), included $43 million for the CIPA account, “to
meet projected increased costs for U.N. peacekeeping operations. The United States has a
clear national interest in resolving the multi-state conflict and encouraging the evolution of
stable democracies in countries in which U.N. peacekeeping missions are operational.”
Congress provided $23,034,000 for “increased assessments” for the U.N. operation in the
Congo in H.R. 4775, which was signed on August 2, 2002 (P.L. 107-206).

On September 30, 2002, the President signed the Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
Fiscal Years 2002-2003 (P.L. 107-228), in which Congress authorized $844 million for U.S.
assessed contributions in CIPA and amended provisions relating to 25% assessment level
condition and cap on payment of U.S. assessed contributions to U.N. peacekeeping
operations. On February 20, 2003, the President signed the FY2003 Consolidated
Appropriations Resolution (P.L. 108-7), which provided $673,710,000 for the CIPA account
($725.9 million requested) and $120,250,000 for the PKO account ($108.8 million
requested). The conferees provided that, as requested by the President, 15% of the amount
in the CIPA account (approx. $101 million) be available through September 30, 2004. This
was due to “demonstrated unpredictability of the requirements ...from year to year and the
nature of multi-year operations” with “mandates overlapping the [U.S.]...fiscal year.”
On April 24, 2003, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in recommending S. 925,
authorized, for FY2004, the requested $550.2 million to pay U.S. assessed contributions to
U.N. peacekeeping accounts. The Committee set the assessment limit for U.S. peacekeeping
contributions beyond CY2004 at 27.4%. The Committee also asked the Secretary of State
to assess U.N. implementation of the Brahimi Panel recommendations on U.N. peacekeeping
capabilities reform and U.S. support of U.N. progress in this area (S.Rept. 108-39). On July
16, 2003, the House passed H.R. 1950, authorizing $550.2 million, as requested, for the
CIPA account and setting the peacekeeping assessment cap for CY2005 and CY2006 at
27.1%. An authorization bill was not enacted in 2003.
On July 23, 2003, the House passed H.R. 2799, appropriating for FY2004, the requested
$550.2 million for CIPA. The Senate Appropriations Committee, on September 5, 2003,
recommended $482,649,000 for the CIPA account (S. 1585). Committee and floor
recommendations for the PKO account ranged from $84.9 million (S. 1426) to $85 million
(H.R. 2800) to $110 million (H.R. 1950). The FY2004 Consolidated Appropriations bill,
signed on January 23, 2004 (P.L. 108-199), Div. B, provided $550,200,000 (including
$454,842,000 in new direct appropriations and $95,358,000 in prior year unobligated
balances) for the CIPA account and in Div. C, Foreign Operations, $74,900,000 for the PKO
account. On November 6, 2003, the President had signed the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations for Defense and for Reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan for FY2004 (P.L.
108-106) which added $245 million to the CIPA account for assessed costs of U.N.
peacekeeping in Liberia and $50 million to the PKO account to support multilateral
peacekeeping needs in Iraq and Afghanistan.
For FY2005, Congress provided $490 million for CIPA and $104 million for PKO
(FY2005 Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L. 108-447, December 8, 2004). The $490
million was reduced to $483,544,832 by an across-the-board cut of 0.80% and a Division B
cut of 0.54%. The $104 million for the PKO account was cut 0.80% to $103,168,000. The
peacekeeping assessment cap for CY2005 was set at 27.1% in P.L. 108-447.
