A/RES/58/203
(h) To take steps to ensure that resources provided for debt relief do not
detract from official development assistance resources intended to be available for
developing countries and that the debt-relief arrangements seek to avoid imposing
any unfair burden on other developing countries;
(i) To welcome consideration by all relevant stakeholders of an international
debt-work-out mechanism, in the appropriate forums, the adoption of which should
not preclude emergency financing in times of crisis, to promote fair burden-sharing
and minimize moral hazard, which will engage debtors and creditors to come
together to restructure unsustainable debts in a timely and efficient manner;
(j) To establish a set of clear principles for the management and resolution
of financial crises that provide for fair burden-sharing between the public and
private sectors and among debtors, creditors and investors, while recognizing that a
flexible mix of instruments is needed to respond appropriately to the varying
economic circumstances and capacities of different countries;
12. Stresses the importance of continued flexibility with regard to the
eligibility criteria for the enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Initiative, in
particular for countries in post-conflict situations, and the need to keep the
computational procedures and assumptions underlying debt sustainability analysis
under review;
13. Emphasizes the need to help bring about initial recovery in heavily
indebted poor post-conflict countries, in coordination with the international
financial institutions, to help clear, as appropriate, the arrears of those countries visà-vis international financial institutions;
14. Reaffirms that reviews of debt sustainability should also bear in mind the
impact of debt relief on progress towards the achievement of the development goals
set out in the Millennium Declaration and the fact that debt sustainability analysis at
the completion point needs to take into account any change in the global growth
prospects or in the terms of trade, especially for commodity export developing
countries;
15. Notes that it is important for the International Monetary Fund and the
World Bank to continue their efforts to strengthen the transparency and integrity of
debt sustainability analysis and to consider any fundamental changes in countries’
debt sustainability caused by natural catastrophes, severe terms-of-trade shocks or
conflict when making policy recommendations, including for debt relief, as
appropriate;
16. Stresses the need to strengthen the institutional capacity of developing
countries in debt management, calls upon the international community to support
the efforts made towards this end, and in this regard stresses the importance of such
initiatives as the Debt Management and Financial Analysis System, 5 the
International Monetary Fund and World Bank guidelines for public debt
management, 6 and the debt-management capacity-building programme;

The Debt Management and Financial Analysis System is a computerized system developed by the United
Nations Conference on Trade and Development to assist developing countries and countries with
economies in transition to develop appropriate administrative, institutional and legal structures for effective
foreign and domestic public debt management. By December 2002, the system had been installed in the
debt offices of sixty countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean.
