Financial Regulation 3.4, which states that contributions 
shall be considered due and payable in full within 30 days of

Assembly resolution 58/1B of 23 December 2003 which, inter 
alia, urges all Member States to pay their assessed 
contributions in full, on time and without imposing 
conditions, as well as to General Assembly resolution 56/243A 
of 24 December 2001 which encouraged Member States in a 
position to do so to provide a schedule of payments or other 
information about their intentions to clear their accumulated 
arrears.
