Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
A/RES/74/130
60. Calls upon the Office of the High Commissioner to continue to play its
catalytic role in mobilizing assistance from the international community to address
the root causes as well as the economic, environmental, development, security and
social impact of large-scale refugee populations in developing countries, in particular
the least developed countries, and countries with economies in transition, and notes
with appreciation those host countries, donor States, organizations and individuals
that contribute to improving the condition of refugees through building the resilience
of refugees and their host communities, while working towards a durable solution;
61. Acknowledges with appreciation the cooperation of the Office of the High
Commissioner with development partners, noting the advantages of complementarity
of funding sources to support refugees and host communities as requested by host
Governments, and the importance of doing so in a manner that does not negatively
impact or reduce support for broader development objectives in host countries and,
where appropriate, countries of origin;
62. Expresses concern that the needs required to protect and assist persons of
concern to the Office of the High Commissioner continue to increase and that the gap
between global needs and available resources continues to grow, appreciates the
continued and increasing hospitality of host countries and generosity of donors, and
therefore calls upon the Office to continue and enhance efforts to broaden its donor base
so as to achieve greater burden- and responsibility-sharing by reinforcing cooperation
with governmental donors, non-governmental donors and the private sector;
63. Recognizes that adequate and timely resources are essential for the Office
of the High Commissioner to continue to fulfil the mandate conferred upon it through
its statute 10 and by subsequent General Assembly resolutions on refugees and other
persons of concern, recalls its resolution 58/153 of 22 December 2003 and subsequent
resolutions on the Office of the High Commissioner concerning, inter alia, the
implementation of paragraph 20 of the statute of the Office, and urges Governments
and other donors to respond promptly to annual and supplementary appeals issued by
the Office for requirements under its programmes;
64. Requests the High Commissioner to report on his annual activities to the
General Assembly at its seventy-fifth session.
