proposals and the restructuring of the existing health insurance system, particularly with regard to the increase in the contribution rate of the organizations of the United Nations common system. The principles which the Commission enunciated in its report (paras. 105 and 106) were reasonable, were conducive to the adoption of measures to adjust the health insurance contributions of the staff and paid special attention to duty stations where health insurance costs were very high. 53. Because of the differing opinions expressed on the matter, and because for the time being there was clearly no proper basis for decision-making by the Fifth Committee concerning the introduction of new principles applicable to the common system as a whole, a general review of all aspects of health insurance should be carried out, as suggested by FICSA. The Austrian delegation's idea that health insurance should be compulsory also deserved to be studied in greater depth by ICSC. 54. The delegations of the Nordic countries supported the ICSC recommendations on personnel management, especially those relating to types of appointment in the context of career development (A/38/30, para. 146). They welcomed the progress made by the organizations in integrated personnel management. It was hoped that human resources planning, which was the basis of personnel management, would serve as an instrument to achieve a better balance between staff needs and the needs of the Organization. The role of ICSC was of decisive importance to the development of a new methodology in that area1 it was therefore gratifying that ICSC, according to paragraph 141 (f) of its report, had requested its secretariat to serve as a focal point for the exchange of information on human resources matters within the common system. That would promote career development within the organizations and progress towards a unified international civil service.
