Conflict Prevention

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs pursuant to the written ministerial statement of 25 March 2009, Official Report, columns 17-19WS, on conflict resources 2009-10, what the breakdown is of the costs incurred under each peacekeeping mission to which the UK is committed; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

Based on our calculations, in 2008-09 we estimate that the UK's share of assessed costs to individual missions paid for from within conflict resources will be as follows:

£
UN Mission in the Central African Republic and Chad (MINURCAT) 18,297,738
UN Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI) 19,968,022
UN Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUC) 49,272,772
UN Mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea (UNMEE) 1,334,652
UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) 25,323,581
UN African Union: UN Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) 64,197,346
UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) 30,070,770
UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) 1,392,357
UN Integrated Mission in East Timor (UNMIT) 6,008,093
UN Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) 1,462,365
UN Disengagement Observer Force Zone (UNDOF) 1,834,559
UN Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) 24,201,172
UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) 7,480,504
UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) 28,307,578
UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) 1,764,832
UN International Criminal Court 5,463,876
UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda 5,403,725
UN International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia 7,145,468
UN/AU UN Logistical Support to African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) 1,960,880
Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe field missions 9,633,681
EU Common Foreign and Security 15,100,000
EU Force in Chad (EUFOR) 6,647,350
EU NAVFOR Atalanta 340,466
Total 332,611,787

We have budgeted for £456 million for assessed costs in 2009-10. As most of these costs are yet to be agreed in the relevant international forum, we do not yet have reliable estimates for individual missions.
