United Nations Financing System for Science and Technology for Development : resolution / adopted by the General Assembly.

Requests the Secretary-General to convene by 30 Apr. 1986 a pledging conference to enable Governments to pledge resources for the UN Financing System for Science and Technology for Development for 1986 and to give indications of intent to provide other resources for 1986 and the following years; decides that, to maintain a viable level of operation, the total resources made available to the Financing System in 1986 should be sufficient to permit a level of operation not less than the average level achieved by the System over the past three years, and which would result in a reasonable balance between core and non-core resources; decides further that, should the amounts realized for 1986 fall below this level, the Secretary-General should report on the results of the pledging conference, together with his views on the future of the Financing System, including its orderly termination, to the Intergovernmental Committee on Science and Technology for Development at its 8th session.
