1.6: ACABQ

Revitalize the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions.

Other Information:

The UN’s Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions was established to be a truly independent and expert review panel. Three reforms would help restore ACABQ to its original vision as a true budget watchdog: ACABQ‘s members should possess internationally-recognized qualifications and be vetted by an independent third party. New rules should discourage a “revolving door” – for the United States or others –between representing member states in the UN’s budget committee and service on the ACABQ. And the Secretariat should provide the ACABQ with the budget earlier in the process, to facilitate timely review.
