CM/Res. 292 (XX)
RESOLUTION ON ARREARS OF CONTRIBUTIONS
The Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity, meeting in its Twentieth Ordinary Session in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia form 5 to 9 February 1973,
Considering the appeal made to Member States by the current Chairman of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government, His Majesty King Hassan II, calling on them to pay their arrears of contribution in the interest of the Organization,
Recalling that the problem, in respect of some Member States, who are in arrears of contributions to the General Fund, has persisted ever since the inception of the Organization, and
Desirous that the Organizations should not enter its second decade of existence with the burden of arrears of contributions which might hamper effective implementation of new goals to be set for the Organization on the occasion of its Tenth Anniversary,
URGES Member States to clear their arrears of contributions to the General Fund; and
REQUESTS the Administrative Secretary General to work out, in consultation with owing Member States, a time-table to guide them in the early liquidation of outstanding contributions with a view to ensuring that the question of arrears would no longer arise at the Tenth Anniversary Session of the Council in May 1973.
