2. Direct costs to the United Nations which the Organi­ zation is required to meet (including the extra and extraordinary costs of Governments providing con­ tingents for which they seek to be reimbursed), fi­ nanced through voluntary contributions........... 14.7 TOTAL 51.0 Voluntary contributions from Governments are required to fi­ nance the second of these cost elements, as indicated in the cost estimates included in my report of I December 1982 [S/15502. sect. VI]. The voluntary contributions received from Governments have not been sufficient to cover these costs. Moreover, the rate of accumu­ lation of the resulting deficit has been growing, since voluntary contributions have been running for the past five years at an average of $9 million per six-month period, while expenses durfng the same five years have increased from $1 I million to $15 million for a six-month period. The accumulated deficit from the inception of the operation through I 5 December 1982 now stands at $ I 00.6 million, as compared to the deficit of $100 million about six months ago for the periods through 15 June 1982, as indicated in the Secretary-Gen­ eral's letter of 29 June 1982 [S/15275]. No contributions have been received so far towards that portion of the costs of maintaining the operation during the six-month period ending 15 June 1983 (that is, $14.7 million) which is to be financed by voluntary contributions.
