Financing of the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia

The United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) existed since from 1992 to June 2009 and helped Georgia in many aspects by setting goals known as expected accomplishments. The UNOMIG has been working on increasing the local police officers and of local police trained and deployed in the Gali sector. These goals were successfully achieved as the number of Abkhaz de facto police officers trained and deployed increased from 630 in 2007/08 to 957 in 2008/09. The United Nations had also other goals such as the maintenance of observation posts and more. Even though many missions of the UNOMIG have been successful, many fluctuations have been seen during June this year in the monthly expenditure pattern. The UNOMIG came to an end right after these events due to the lack of consensus among Security Council members on mandate extension. The Russian Federation vetoed plan to extend UN Missions in Georgia and taking the Russian Federation’s position into the present conflict, **Iraq believes that it was inadmissible to stop the financing of the United Nations Observers in Georgia. As a country part of the United Nations, Iraq firmly believes that it is the duty of the United Nations to reestablish the UNOMIG or reform it in order to keep on helping Georgia in a Financial plan.**
