Investigations
7.10 It is understood that the Government has the primary responsibility for investigating any acts of misconduct or serious misconduct committed by a member of its national contingent.
7.11 In the event that the Government has prima facie grounds indicating that any member of its national contingent has committed an act of serious misconduct, it shall without delay inform the United Nations and forward the case to its appropriate national authorities for the purposes of investigation.
7.12 In the event that the United Nations has prima facie grounds indicating that any member of the Government's national contingent has committed an act of misconduct or serious misconduct, the United Nations shall without delay inform the Government. If necessary to preserve evidence and where the Government does not conduct fact-finding proceedings, the United Nations may, in cases of serious misconduct, as appropriate, where the United Nations has informed the Government of the allegation, initiate a preliminary fact-finding inquiry of the matter, until the Government starts its own investigation. It is understood in this connection that any such preliminary fact-finding nquiry will be conducted by the appropriate United Nations investigative office, including the Office of Internal Oversight Services, in accordance with the rules of the Organization. Any such preliminary fact-finding inquiry shall include as part of the investigation team a representative of the Government. The United Nations shall provide a complete report of its preliminary fact-finding inquiry to the Government at its request without delay.
7.13 In the event that the Government does not notify the United Nations as soon as possible, but no later than 10 working days from the time of notification by the United Nations, that it will start its own investigation of the alleged serious misconduct, the Government is considered to be unwilling or unable to conduct such an investigation and the United Nations may, as appropriate, initiate an administrative investigation of alleged serious misconduct without delay. The administrative investigation conducted by the United Nations in regard to any member of the national contingent shall respect those legal rights of due process that are provided to him or her by national and international law. Any such administrative investigation includes as part of the investigation team a representative of the Government if the Government provides one. In case the Government nevertheless decides to start its own investigation, the United Nations provides all available materials of the case to the Government without delay. In cases where a United Nations administrative investigation is completed, the United Nations shall provide the Government with the findings of, and the evidence gathered in the course of, the investigation.
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
7.14 In the case of a United Nations administrative investigation into possible serious misconduct by any member of the national contingent, the Government agrees to instruct the Commander of its national contingent to cooperate and to share documentation and information, subject to applicable national laws, including military laws. The Government also undertakes, through the Commander of its national contingent, to instruct the members of its national contingent to cooperate with such United Nations investigation, subject to applicable national laws, including military laws.
7.15 When the Government decides to start its own investigation and to identify or send one or more officials to investigate the matter, it shall immediately inform the United Nations of that decision, including the identities of the official or officials concerned (hereafter „National Investigations Officers”).
7.16 The United Nations agrees to cooperate fully and to share documentation and information with appropriate authorities of the Government, including any National Investigations Officers, who are investigating possible misconduct or serious misconduct by any member of the Government’s national contingent.
7.17 Upon the request of the Government, the United Nations shall cooperate with the competent authorities of the Government, including any National Investigations Officers, that are investigating possible misconduct or serious misconduct by any members of its national contingent in liaising with other Governments contributing personnel in support of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), as well as with the competent authorities in the mission area, with a view to facilitating the conduct of those investigations. To this end, the United Nations shall take all possible measures to obtain consent from the host authorities. The competent authorities of the Government shall ensure that prior authorization for access to any victim or witness who is not a member of the national contingent, as well as for the collection or securing of evidence not under the ownership and control of the national contingent, is obtained from the host nation competent authorities.
7.18 In cases where National Investigations Officers are dispatched to the mission areas, they would lead the investigations. The role of the United Nations investigators in such cases will be to assist the National Investigations Officers, if necessary, in the conduct of their investigations in terms of, e.g. identification and interviewing of witnesses, recording witness statements, collection of documentary and forensic evidence and provision of administrative as well as logistical assistance.
7.19 Subject to its national laws and regulations, the Government shall provide the United Nations with the findings of investigations conducted by its competent authorities, including any National Investigations Officers, into possible misconduct or serious misconduct by any member of its national contingent.
7.20 When National Investigations Officers are deployed in the mission area, they will enjoy the same legal status as if they were members of their respective contingent while they are in the mission area, or host country.
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
7.21 Upon the request of the Government, the United Nations shall provide administrative and logistic support to the National Investigations Officers while they are in the mission area or host country. The Secretary-General will provide, in accordance with his authority, financial support as appropriate for the deployment of National Investigations Officers in situations where their presence is requested by the United Nations, normally the Department of Peacekeeping Operations, and where financial support is requested by the Government.

The Government assures the United Nations that it shall exercise such jurisdiction with respect to such crimes or offences.
7.23 The Government further assures the United Nations that it shall exercise such disciplinary jurisdiction as might be necessary with respect to all other acts of misconduct committed by any members of the Government’s national contingent while they are assigned to the military component of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) that do not amount to crimes or offences.

Accountability
7.24 If either a United Nations investigation or an investigation conducted by the competent authorities of the Government concludes that suspicions of misconduct by any member of the Government's national contingent are well founded, the Government shall ensure that the case is forwarded to its appropriate authorities for due action.

The Government will, to the extent of its national laws, seek to facilitate such claims provided to it by the United Nations to be forwarded to the appropriate national authorities. In the case that the Government’s national law does not recognize the legal capacity of the United Nations to provide such claims, these shall be provided to the Government by the appropriate authorities of the host country, in accordance with applicable procedures. The United Nations must ensure that such claims are accompanied by the necessary conclusive evidence, such as a DNA sample of the child when prescribed by the Government’s national law.
7.27 Bearing in mind the contingent commander's obligation to maintain the discipline and good order of the contingent, the United Nations, through the Force Commander, shall ensure that the contingent is deployed in the mission in accordance with agreement between the United Nations and the Government.

The cost of repairs is not reimbursable when the equipment is provided under a wet lease, as repairs are included in the maintenance portion of the wet lease rate.
3 - Verification and control procedures
6. The main purpose of verification and control procedures is to verify that the terms and conditions of the bilateral MOU have been met, and to take corrective action when required. The United Nations is responsible, in coordination with the contingent or other delegated authority designated by the troop-contributor, to ensure that the equipment provided by the Government meets the requirements of UNIFIL and is provided in accordance with Annex D of this MOU.
B-2
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
7. The United Nations is therefore authorized to verify the status, condition and quantity of the equipment and services provided. The Government will designate a person, normally identified through his function, who is the responsible point of contact for verification and control matters.
8. A principle of reasonability is to govern the verification process. It is to be assessed if the Government and the United Nations have taken all reasonable measures to meet the spirit of the MOU, if not the full substance, and also taken into account the importance of the subject and length of period when the MOU has not been fulfilled. The guiding principle in determining reasonability is whether the material to be provided by the Government as well as by the United Nations will meet its military function at no additional cost to the United Nations or the Government, other than those provided for in this MOU.
9. The results of the control process are to be used as a basis of consultative discussion at the lowest level possible in order to correct the discrepancies or decide corrective action, including adjustment of the agreed eligibility for reimbursement. Alternatively, the parties, given the degree of non-fulfilment of the MOU, may seek to renegotiate the scope of the contribution.
10. The verification process for major equipment consists of the following types of inspections:
A. Arrival Inspection:
The inspection of major equipment will take place immediately upon arrival in the mission area and must be completed within one month. The United Nations, in consultation with the troop-contributor, will decide the time and place. Where equipment and personnel are already in the mission area when the MOU is concluded, the first inspection will be carried out on a date to be jointly determined by the mission and contingent authorities and is to be completed within one month of that date.
The Government may request a United Nations team to advise or consult on matters pertaining to major equipment, or may request a pre-arrival inspection to be conducted at the Port of Embarkation.
B. Operational Inspection:
The operational inspections, carried out by duly designated representatives of the United Nations, will be implemented according to operational requirements during the stay of units in the mission area. The major equipment will be inspected to ensure that categories and groups as well as the number delivered still correspond with this MOU and is used appropriately.
B-3
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
The inspection will also determine if the operational serviceability is in accordance with the specifications mentioned under performance standards listed in Annex E.
C. Repatriation Inspection:
The repatriation inspection is carried out by duly designated representatives of the United Nations when the contingent or a component thereof leaves the mission to ensure that all major equipment provided by the Government, and only that, is repatriated, and to verify the condition of equipment provided under the dry lease concept.
D. Other Inspections and Reporting:
Additional verifications or inspections deemed necessary by the Force Commander or Director of Administration/Chief Administrative Officer or United Nations Headquarters, such as those required to support standard operational reporting, may be implemented.
The United Nations may request a pre-deployment visit to the troop/police contributors' home country to assist the troop/police contributor to prepare for deployment and to verify the suitability of the major equipment and self-sustainment capabilities proposed for deployment.
4 - Transportation
11. The United Nations, in consultation with the Government, will make arrangements for, and meet the costs related to, deployment and redeployment of contingent-owned equipment, from and to an agreed port of embarkation/disembarkation and the mission area either directly or, if transport is to be provided by the Government, under Letter of Assist. For landlocked countries, or countries where equipment is moved by road or rail to and from the mission area, the port of embarkation/disembarkation will be an agreed border crossing point.
12. Troop-contributors are responsible for transportation for re-supply of contingent for spare parts and minor equipment related to major equipment, and to rotate equipment and to meet national requirement. The monthly estimated maintenance rates of the wet lease rates already include a generic 2% premium for such transportation. In addition, a distance related increment is applied to the maintenance rates. The distance related increment is 0.25 % of the estimated maintenance rate for each complete 500 miles (800 kilometres), beyond the first 500 miles (800 kilometres) distance along the consignment route between the port of embarkation in the troop- contributing country and the port of entry in the mission area. For landlocked countries or countries where equipment is moved by road or rail to and from the mission area, the port of entry will be an agreed border crossing point.
B-4
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
13. No separate reimbursement for transportation of spare parts is provided for beyond that covered under the wet lease procedures.
14. Costs related to the rotation of equipment to meet national operational or maintenance requirements will remain ineligible for reimbursement by the United Nations.
15. The United Nations is responsible for the costs of inland transportation of major equipment between an agreed originating location and the port of embarkation/disembarkation. The United Nations may make transport arrangements to and from the originating base; however, the Government will be responsible for costs for other than major equipment. Reimbursement of the costs of inland transportation made by the troop-contributor for major equipment will be made upon presentation of a claim prepared in accordance with an LOA, which will be negotiated in advance of the transportation.
16. The United Nations will be responsible for the cost of transportation on deployment and redeployment of the equipment level authorized in this MOU and of back-up equipment up to equipment level authorized in this MOU. In the event of the troop-contributor deploying more equipment than authorized in this MOU plus 10% back up, the extra costs will be borne by the troop-contributor.
17. When the United Nations negotiates a contract for the repatriation of equipment and the carrier exceeds a 14-day grace period after the expected arrival date, the troop-contributor will be reimbursed by the United Nations at the dry-lease rate from the expected arrival date until the actual arrival date.
5 - Mission usage factors
18. Mission usage factors as described in Annex F, if applicable, will be applied to the reimbursement rates for major equipment.
6 - Loss or damage
19. When deciding reimbursement for loss and damage, a distinction between no-fault incidents and hostile action/forced abandonment must be made:
a. No-fault incidents: The wet lease/dry lease rates include a no-fault factor to cover loss of or damage to equipment in a no-fault incident. There is no additional reimbursement and no other claims are receivable in case of equipment loss or damage in such incidents.
B-5
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
b. Hostile action/forced abandonment:
i. In cases of loss or damage resulting from a single hostile action or forced abandonment, troop-contributors will assume liability for each and every item of equipment when the collective generic fair market value is below the threshold value of $250,000; and
ii. For major equipment lost or damaged as a result of a single hostile action or forced abandonment, the United Nations will assume liability for each and every item of major equipment whose generic fair market value equals or exceeds
$250,000 or for the major equipment lost or damaged when the collective generic fair market value of such equipment equals or exceeds $250,000.
20. Where equipment is provided under wet lease, the method of calculation for damage is the reasonable cost of repair. Equipment, which has suffered damage, is to be considered a total loss when the cost of repair exceeds 75 per cent of the generic fair market value.
21. The United Nations has no responsibility for reimbursement where loss and damage is due to wilful misconduct or gross negligence by members of the troop-contributor as determined by a board of inquiry convened by a duly authorized official of the United Nations, the report of which has been approved by the responsible United Nations' official.
7 - Loss and Damage in Transit
22. Liability for loss or damage during transportation will be assumed by the party making the arrangements. Liability for damage only applies to significant damage. Significant damage means damage where the repairs amount to 10 per cent or more of the generic fair market value of the item of equipment.
8 - Special Case Equipment
23. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this MOU, loss or damage to special case equipment shall be treated in the same manner as other major equipment.
9- Liability for Damage to Major Equipment Owned by one Troop-Contributor and Used by another Troop-Contributor
24. Major equipment can be provided to the United Nations by one TC to be used, at the request of the United Nations, by another TC. In these cases, the following principles will apply:
a. Adequate training is necessary to ensure that a user is qualified to operate unique major
B-6
DFS/UMFIL/SER/01
equipment such as armoured personnel carriers. The United Nations will be responsible for ensuring that this training is conducted and to provide funding for the training. The arrangements to provide and conduct this training are to be negotiated between the United Nations, the TC providing the major equipment and the TC using the major equipment. The results of the negotiation are to be reflected in the respective MOU;
b. Major equipment provided to a United Nations peacekeeping mission by a TC and used by another TC shall be treated with due diligence. The user TC shall be responsible for reimbursing the providing TC, through the United Nations, for any damage that may occur, whether as a result of wilful misconduct, gross negligence or negligence by personnel of the user TC; and
c. Any incident involving damage shall be investigated and processed according to the application of United Nations rules and regulations.

2 - General conditions for self-sustainment
1. The minor equipment and consumables provided under this MOU shall remain the property of the Government.
2. Reimbursement for self-sustainment will be in effect at full rates until the date of cessation of operations by a troop-contributor or termination of the mission and thereafter be reduced to 50 per cent of the rates agreed in this MOU calculated upon the remaining actual deployed troop strength until all contingent personnel have departed the mission area.
3 - Verification and control procedures.
3. The United Nations is responsible, in coordination with the contingent or other delegated authority designated by the troop-contributor, to ensure that the equipment provided by the Government meets the requirements of the UNIFIL and is provided in accordance with Annex C of this MOU.
4. Thus the United Nations is authorized to verify the status, condition and quantity of the equipment and services provided. The Government will designate a person, normally identified through his function, who is the responsible point of contact for verification and control matters.
5. A principle of reasonability is to govern the verification process. It is to be assessed if the Government and the United Nations have taken all reasonable measures to meet the spirit of the MOU, if not the full substance. The guiding principle in determining reasonability is whether the material to be provided by the Government as well as by the United Nations will meet its (military/operational) function at no additional cost to the United Nations or the Government, other than those provided for in this MOU.
6. The result of the control process is to be used as a basis of a consultative discussion at the lowest level possible in order to correct the discrepancies or decide corrective action including adjustment of the agreed eligibility for reimbursement. Alternatively, the parties, given the degree of non-fulfilment of the MOU, may seek to renegotiate the scope of the contribution. Neither the Government nor the United Nations should be penalized when non-performance results from the operational situation in the mission area.
7. The verification process for personnel-related minor equipment and consumables comprised the following types of inspections:
C-3
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
A. Arrival Inspection
The first inspection will take place immediately upon arrival in the mission area and must be completed within one month. A person authorized by the Government must explain and demonstrate the agreed self-sustainment capability. In the same way the United Nations must give an account of the services provided by the United Nations as stipulated in this MOU. Where self-sustainment services are already in the mission area when the MOU is concluded, the first inspection will be carried out on a date to be jointly determined by the mission and contingent authorities and is to be completed within one month of that date.
B. Operational Inspection
The operational inspections will be implemented according to operational requirements during the stay of units in the mission area. Areas where the contingent has self-sustainment responsibilities may be inspected with a view to an assessment of whether the sustainment capability is sufficient and satisfactory.
C. Other Inspections and Reporting
Additional verifications or inspections deemed necessary by the Force Commander, DMS or the United Nations Headquarters, such as standard operational reporting, may be implemented.
4 - Transportation
8. Costs related to the transportation of minor equipment and consumables provided under the self- sustainment system are reimbursed by a 2 per cent transportation increment included in the rates listed in Annex C. No other transportation cost is eligible for reimbursement for transportation of self- sustainment items.
5 - Mission related usage factors
9. Mission usage factors as described in Annex F, if applicable, will be applied to the reimbursement rates for self-sustainment.
6 - Loss or damage
10. Loss or damage to self-sustainment items is not reimbursable by the United
Nations. These incidents are covered by the no-fault incident factor and by the mission-approved hostile action/forced abandonment factor (where a mission factor has been deemed necessary), which are applied to the spare parts' component of the wet lease as well as the self-sustainment rates.

Annex D
PRINCIPLES OF VERIFICATION AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR MAJOR EQUIPMENT PROVIDED UNDER THE WET/DRY LEASE ARRANGEMENTS
PURPOSE
1. There are verifiable standards by which both dry and wet lease are applied and subsequently reimbursed. The following standards, and associated definitions, are designed to apply to the equipment listed in annex A to chapter 8 of the XXX manual. The standards, stated in terms of operational requirements are designed to be generic in nature to fit the widest range of equipment.
PRINCIPLES
2. The following principles are applicable to all equipment:
a. Equipment arriving in theatre must be in a serviceable condition for use in its primary role and must already be painted with UN markings. Ambulances and other vehicles dedicated to the transport of medical staff or medical supplies should be clearly marked with a symbol placing it under the protection of the Geneva Convention. Any requirement to assemble the equipment due to shipping constraints will be completed by the contingent at its own expense as part of the deployment process. This will include the addition of POL removed for the purpose of transportation;
b. All associated minor equipment, checklists or load list items required for use with the equipment in the performance of its role will accompany the equipment or be in clearly identifiable cargo for inclusion with the equipment on arrival in theatre;
c. Under the wet lease reimbursement, the contributor is responsible for the provision of replacement equipment, spare parts, maintenance, contracted repair. A basic 2 per cent transportation factor for the re-supply of spare parts and consumables is included in the wet lease rate. This 2% rate is further increased by 0.25% for each complete 500 miles or 800 kilometers segment, beyond the first 500 miles or 800 kilometers segment, along the consignment route between the port of embarkation and the arrival point in the mission area;
D-l
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
d. To meet serviceability standards, contingents have the option to maintain an additional 10% of the MOU authorized quantities of major equipment to be deployed and re- deployed with the contingent. The United Nations will be responsible for the associated deployment and re-deployment as well as painting/repainting costs. However, a troop contributor will not receive wet or dry lease reimbursement for overstocks;
e. A „reasonability” view is to be employed when assessing whether a performance standard has been met. However, the capabilities, staff and medical equipment and the capability to perform emergency medical procedures according to the standards for medical self-sustainment stated in Annex B of Chapter 3, must be present at all times, troop contributors and the United Nations should not be penalized when non- performance results from the operational situation in the mission area;
f. Any equipment damaged in transit will be the responsibility of the party responsible for making the transportation arrangements (see chapter 4 for details); and
g. „Special case” should be reserved for major equipment for which a reimbursement rate has not been established in the XXX Manual. „Special case” major equipment should be of a value greater than US$500 (collective value of all items in the set), and with a life expectancy greater than one year. The threshold value should be reviewed during the scheduled Working Group on XXX meeting in 2008.
3. The United Nations inspection team will use the MOU in verifying the type and quantity of major equipment provided by the troop contributor.
4. A third party maintaining equipment of another troop contributor is to meet the same performance standards as a troop contributor providing maintenance of its own equipment.
5. Where a contingent is employing major equipment for self-sustainment support, the applicable troop contributor is not entitled to major equipment reimbursement, but only to the applicable self-sustainment reimbursement. There may be instances where a troop contributor provides services such as communications, medical, engineering on a Force level as force assets in which case there may be an entitlement to reimbursement for major equipment whereas the same items at the unit level would be considered as minor equipment and incorporated into the overall self-sufficiency cost base. These instances will be specified in Annexes B and C of the MOU where applicable.
D-2
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
STANDARDS
6. The following standards are to be verified by the mission XXX-inspection team:
Communications equipment
7. The provision of communications equipment for dry/wet lease reimbursement will be applied to communications' contingents providing services on a force level, that is, above the battalion or contingent level. The service must be available to all units as designated by the mission headquarters and will be included in the MOU. The MOU will specify the technical specifications to be used.
8. The equipment must be sufficient to provide the basic communications network desired by the mission. A back-up capability must be retained in theatre to ensure uninterrupted service. The back-up equipment will deploy and re-deploy with the contingent.
9. When higher level communication capabilities are required by non-communication units and not reimbursable under the self-sustainment rate for communications (e.g. INMARSATS), the equipment must be authorized in the MOU in which case it will be reimbursable as major equipment in the same manner as for a communications unit. Inmarsat used for national rearlink purposes is a national responsibility and is not reimbursable.
Electrical
10. This equipment is for the provision of main source generating power for base camps, company or larger dispersed locations, or specialist units requiring large power sources greater than 20 KVA (e.g. medical facilities, maintenance workshops). It is to include all associated minor equipment, consumables and wiring harnesses, and cabling to connect end users. Lighting fixtures, accommodation circuits, and wiring are reimbursable under the electrical self-sustainment rate. When troops or specialist units from one contingent are deployed with another contingent, the responsibility for supplying the power, with a sufficient back-up capacity, must be defined in the MOU of both parties.
11. Base camp main generators and generators supplying medical facilities will have a back-up capability running in parallel. The back-up capacity must at all times be sufficient to cover medical needs, and must be connected to the vital areas of the medical facilities, giving these facilities first priority. The combination of the output of the two generators is used to determine the reimbursement rate. In this case, an uninterrupted „around-the-clock” capability is required for all base camp main generators. Related wiring and cabling, circuit panels and transformer are to be repaired or replaced within two hours. Single generators (i.e. not running in parallel) will operate with a maximum of three hours of servicing,
D-3
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
refueling or repair within a 24-hour period.
12. Generators supplying medical facilities must have a back-up capability running in parallel as well. The back-up capacity must at all times be sufficient to cover medical needs. When troops or medical units from one troop contributor are deployed and operating with a contingent of another troop contributor, the responsibility for supplying power with a sufficient back-up capacity, will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis and indicated in Annex B of the MOU.
Engineering
13. The major equipment rates will be paid for major equipment used in engineering tasks in support of the mission. The contingent and its capability must be authorized under the MOU.
14. Engineering equipment will be maintained to ensure its immediate availability for use as deployed.
15. When an Engineering unit is tasked to conduct demining/Force EOD on behalf of the Mission as a Force asset, the equipment will be reimbursed as major equipment, where applicable, as agreed in the MOU. Ammunition and explosives consumed in demining/Force EOD operations or, where the Force Commander authorizes and directs special training beyond accepted UN readiness standards, are reimbursable upon presentation of a claim and certification from the Mission. Since the cost of ammunitions and explosives associated with special case major equipment items, such as demolition explosives used in demining/Force EOD, are not included in the calculation of a monthly wet lease rates, an incremental transportation factor is not included to reimburse the cost of transportation for the replenishment. Consequently, the United Nations will reimburse for the transportation cost of the deployment, redeployment as well as replenishment of those specific ammunitions and explosives used for demining/Force EOD tasks at force level using force asset major equipment.
Medical and Dental
16. Only medical equipment provided as per United Nations standards and authorized in the MOU will be reimbursed as medical equipment.
17. The medical equipment stipulated in the MOU is applicable wherever medical equipment is used for the provision of medical services providing Level 1, 2 and 3 services according to United Nations standards which includes general medicine, internal medicine, surgical, other medical specialties as agreed, dental, hygiene, dispensary, blood testing and processing, X-ray, laboratory xxxx and stabilization/life-saving measures and capabilities and evacuation to the next level.
D-4
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
18. The contingents must have sufficient medical equipment as stipulated in the United Nations standards for Level 1, 2 and 3 medical services in order to provide the respective outpatient and inpatient care, basic and advanced diagnostic services, basic and advanced lifesaving, basic and advanced surgical capacities and capabilities, sufficient re-supply capabilities, as well as casevac/ medevac capabilities and capacities in the mission area as per the MOU. Requested medical equipment must be provided and maintained in a fully operational condition, maintaining an aseptic and sterile environment as per World Health Organization (WHO) requirements in order to ensure uninterrupted medical support and an adequate standard for medical services, including evacuation capabilities.
19. If a laboratory is included in a Level 1 medical facility at the request of the United Nations, then it will be reimbursed as „laboratory only” major equipment.
20. Level 1 medical facilities are considered „force assets”, thus available to all members of a United Nations mission. Therefore, Level 1 hospital medical equipment is eligible for reimbursement at the major equipment rate of „Level 1 Hospital” listed in Chapter 8.
21. The medical facilities are reimbursed for each module (i.e. Level 1, 2 or 3, Dental, and Laboratory only) of medical equipment provided as long as the equipment meets the standards. The costing of each medical facility module, and therefore the related reimbursement rates, is based on the Generic Fair Market Value (GFMV) of each piece of medical equipment required by the module as recommended by the Phase V Working Group. The revised lists of equipment per module include all equipment required by the Phase V Working Group for the separate levels, but the non-medical equipment (e.g. generators above 20 KVA, ambulances, general hygiene facilities and water purification systems, although still a requirement listed in the medical standards, has been subtracted from the medical modules GFMV and will be listed separately as major equipment (in Annex B of MOU) for separate reimbursement. In addition, minor adjustments in the list of major equipment and clerical corrections have been made. The revised medical equipment requirements for each medical facility module are shown in Appendices to this chapter.
22. In preparing the Verification Reports for medical facilities, the quality, capacity and capability, as defined in the standards, are the overriding considerations. Therefore, an expert medical opinion concerning the operational impact of any shortfall, discrepancy or corrective action or substitution undertaken, will be required before deduction may be made to the reimbursement.
Observation equipment
23. Under a wet lease, observation equipment will be maintained to ensure „round-the-clock” operability, as applicable, at all observation outposts. Routine calibration of equipment must be performed.
D-5
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
24. Under a dry lease arrangement, the United Nations is responsible to provide sufficient spareparts and equipment to maintain the same level of serviceability at the observation posts.
Accommodation
25. Semi-rigid structures are soft-sided, hard frame facilities that can be moved (i.e. dismantled and shipped). Rigid structures are defined as hard walled or prefabricated facilities that may be attached to local utilities/services but can be easily dismantled and moved.
26. Containers are mobile shelters used for a specific purpose/service. There are three basic types of containers: truck mounted; trailer mounted; and sea containers. Truck-mounted containers can be dismounted and operated separately from the vehicle. Trailer-mounted containers need not be dismounted, but are not reimbursed as trailers in the vehicle category. Sea containers must be maintained to international standards (i.e. certified for shipping) in order to be eligible for reimbursement.
27. If a container is used as part of the support provided under a self-sustainment rate (e.g. dental, catering), its use is not reimbursable as major equipment, but is covered by the applicable self- sustainment rate.
28. Accommodation rates include all minor equipment and consumables associated with the primary function of the facility.
Aircraft
29. Owing to the special nature of aircraft, the type, quantity and performance criteria will be stipulated separately in letters of assist. The Air Operation unit of the mission is responsible for monitoring and reporting the performance of aircraft.
Armaments
30. Crew-served weapons must be operationally serviceable at a 90 per cent rate. Serviceability includes sighting and calibration of weapons and periodic test firing as permitted in the mission area. The United Nations defines a crew-served weapon as any weapon operated by more than one designated soldier. Ammunition for sighting, calibration, test firing and training is a consumable and is included in the wet lease maintenance rate. Therefore, training ammunition is a national responsibility unless the Force Commander specifically authorizes and directs special training beyond accepted UN readiness standards. When weapons are provided through the United Nations, sufficient United Nations spare parts stock will be maintained in-theatre to ensure the serviceability standards.
D-6
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
31. The United Nations will reimburse contributing countries for deploying ammunition to and from the mission area. Since the cost of ammunition/missiles, associated with major equipment items such as anti-air, anti-armour and howitzer, and explosives used with major equipment, are not included in the calculation of a monthly wet lease rates, an incremental transportation factor is not included to reimburse the cost of transportation for the replenishment. Consequently, the United Nations will reimburse for the transportation cost of the deployment, redeployment as well as replenishment of those specific ammunition and for ammunition or explosives used with major equipment. Additionally, the United Nations will reimburse ammunition and explosives expended on training beyond accepted UN readiness standards authorized and directed by the Force Commander, but not for other training/exercises within accepted United Nations readiness standards for which ammunition is considered a consumable covered in the wet lease rates or the monthly rate reimbursed under troop cost for personal weapon. Ammunition expended on operations or special training authorized and directed by the Force Commander will be reported in the Force Commander's reports at the conclusion of individual operations and be reimbursed the initial price of ammunition on presentation of a claim by the Government and an Operational Ammunition Expenditure Certificate (OAEC) from the Mission. Reimbursement will be made for ammunition that becomes unserviceable while in the mission area. However, troop contributors are responsible for deploying ammunition with an expected life in excess of the anticipated length of deployment.
Naval vessels
32. Owing to the special nature of vessels, type, quantity and performance criteria will be stipulated separately in Letters of Assist.
Vehicles
3 3. The inspection team is responsible to verify the equipment to ensure it is classified according to the description/category provided in A/C.5/49/70 and A/C.5/55/39.
34. Commercial pattern vehicles are defined as those vehicles that are readily available from a commercial source. Military pattern vehicles are specifically engineered and designed according to precise military specifications and are built to satisfy particular military mission applications. The 2004 Working Group on XXX developed a check list to determine whether a commercial pattern vehicle could qualify for a military pattern rate of reimbursement in Appendix 8 of Annexes A & B to Chapter 3. In cases where the original vehicle is of a commercial pattern, the vehicle may be considered as „military pattern” for reimbursement purposes under contingent-owned equipment, subject to MOU negotiation and are to be indicated in Annex B of the MOU. Issues of whether or not an upgrade to commercial equipment entitles a troop contributor to military pattern equipment reimbursement are to be dealt with during the MOU negotiation at United Nations Headquarters, with paramount importance accorded to operational requirements and the principle of
„reasonableness” in resolving disagreements.
D-7
DFS/UMFIL/SER/01
35. In the case of a dry lease where the United Nations is responsible to maintain the major equipment or arrange for the maintenance of major equipment by a third party, a review of maintenance and spare parts will be conducted to determine if the cost of maintenance exceeds the maintenance rate included in the generic „wet lease” rate. In such situations, an initial assessment is required to determine if the cost of overrun is attributable to environmental or operational conditions. If the cost overrun is not attributable to local conditions but rather to the condition of the equipment, a report shall be submitted to United Nations Headquarters explaining the situation, indicating which category of equipment is subject to maintenance overrun and by what amount. In such cases the United Nations may reduce the dry lease reimbursement rate to the troop contributor by the amount in excess of the estimated maintenance rate included in the generic wet lease.
36. The equipment authorized in the MOU must include all minor equipment, checklist items (jacks, driver's tools, spare tire, etc.) and consumables (less fuel) associated with the vehicle.
37. Wet Lease: Under the conditions of a wet lease, when the total number of operationally serviceable (i.e. available for use) vehicles is less than 90% of the quantity authorized in the MOU in a vehicle sub-category, the reimbursement will be reduced accordingly.
38. A vehicle will be considered operationally unserviceable if it is unavailable for normal mission use for a period of time in excess of 24 hours. A contingent can hold limited operational stocks (up to 10% of authorized quantity) designed as immediate replacement for vehicles lost or damaged beyond in-theater repair capability.
39. Dry Lease: Under the conditions of a dry lease, the vehicle will be provided in an operationally-serviceable condition, with all minor equipment and checklist items, for immediate use upon arrival in the mission area. The United Nations is required to maintain operational serviceability at a minimum rate of 90% of the agreed quantity in a vehicle sub-category. A vehicle will be considered operationally unserviceable if it is unavailable for normal mission usage for a period of time in excess of 24 hours. Serviceability below 90%, due to United Nations' inability to maintain, might require downward adjustments to contingent tasks/missions without a corresponding reduction to other reimbursements adversely affected by reduced activity rates. The United Nations is responsible for returning the vehicle to the troop contributor in the same level of operational serviceability, with all minor equipment and checklist items, as originally provided.
40. Weapon systems: Weapons systems on all vehicles are to be serviced to ensure that the capability to perform the mission is maintained. On combat vehicles, operational serviceability is required for the main weapon and its associated fire control system. If either the weapon itself or the fire control system is inoperable, then the vehicle is considered not in service and not eligible for reimbursement.
Note: A crew served weapon is any weapon operated by more than one designated person.
D-8
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
41. Painting: To be considered serviceable for United Nations' operations, all vehicles must be painted white with appropriate United Nations' markings. If this painting is not completed before deployment, reimbursement may be withheld until the standard is reached unless the United Nations Headquarters has specifically authorized an exception to this requirement. Reimbursement for painting will be calculated using the standard rates per type/category of equipment multiplied by the quantity of equipment authorized in Annex B (Major Equipment provided by the Government) in the MOU plus an additional 10% where applicable, upon confirmation by the Mission through VR (arrival or periodic) or other means that the major equipment items were painted. Reimbursement for painting will be based on major equipment departing the Mission as per the departure VR.
42. For special cases, if the equipment can be logically fitted or, agreed between the United Nations and a TC at the time of the MOU negotiation, into one of the existing categories, the painting/repainting rate applicable to the existing categories will apply. Otherwise, reimbursement for painting/repainting will be based on presentation of invoice of actual costs. The ratio of painting to repainting has been determined at 1:1.19 i.e. costs for repainting are reimbursable up to 1.19 times the rates for painting.
43. Reimbursement for painting/repainting for major equipment not identified separately in Annex B of MOU but used in the performance of self-sustainment capabilities such as containers, communication vehicles, etc, should be submitted through a separate claim showing the applicable category of self-sustainment, the type and quantity of equipment. These claims will be reviewed to assess that the type and quantity of major equipment used for self-sustainment is required and reasonable and to establish where possible a logical link with existing major equipment items for which standard rates were determined. If no logical link to existing major equipment exists, the claim will be reviewed and negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01 Annex E
Principles of verification and performance standards for minor equipment and consumables provided under self-sustainment
Introduction
1. Self-sustainment is defined as logistics support for contingents in a peacekeeping mission area whereby the troop/police contributor provides some or all categories of logistics support to the contingent on a reimbursable basis. A contingent may be self-sufficient in various categories, depending on the ability of the United Nations to provide the necessary support and the contingents' own capabilities. The modular concept of self-sustainment is based on the principle that troop/police contributors cannot only be partially self-sustaining in any given category. The required self-sustainment categories and any supplementary arrangements will be indicated in the respective MOU.
Purpose
2 . There are verifiable standards by which the self-sustainment categories are provided and subsequently reimbursed. The following standards, and associated definitions, are designed to apply to the categories of self-sustainment listed in annex B to chapter 8 of the XXX Manual. The standards, stated in terms of operational capabilities, are designed to be generic in nature leaving the details and the means of delivery of the capabilities to be discussed between the United Nations and the troop/police contributors.
Principles
3. The overarching principle regarding self-sustainment is for all troop/police contributors and contingents to adhere to the commitments made in their respective MOU to provide the agreed operational capability. Discussions between the United Nations and troop/police contributors will result in an agreement on the capabilities to be provided by the United Nations and the contingent being deployed. As a starting point for negotiation, the United Nations will identify and request from troop/police contributors those self- sustainment capabilities it cannot provide. The right of troop/police contributors to provide any or some categories of self-sustainment will be taken into consideration during the negotiation of the MOU. However, the United Nations has a responsibility to ensure that any self-sustainment services provided by a troop/police contributor meets the minimum operational capabilities, are compatible with other troop/police contributors where interface is required, and that the cost to the United Nations is similar to what it would have cost the United Nations to arrange centrally for the provision of these self- sustainment services. Unless specifically required by the standards for a self-sustainment category, as detailed in annex B to chapter 3, the provision of specific types, numbers or capabilities of equipment needed to meet the standards for a self- sustainment category, for reimbursement purposes, is to be based on meeting the operational requirements agreed between the United Nations and the troop- or police-contributing country and reflected in the MOU.
4. When determining which party is to be responsible for the provision of the self- sustainment category, the cultural requirements of troop-and police-contributing countries will be taken into consideration and a general principle of reasonability shall apply.
E-l
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
5. Only those services specifically agreed upon in the MOU to be provided by troop/police contributors will be reimbursable, at the rates listed in chapter 8 of the XXX Manual, using the actual troop strength up to the personnel ceiling agreed upon in the MOU. The inspection team will refer to the respective MOU to determine the categories of self-sustainment to be provided by each contingent.
6. To be eligible for reimbursement for any self-sustainment category or subcategory, a contingent must provide all minor equipment, maintenance and consumables associated with that specific category or subcategory. Categories are subdivided to ensure flexibility and to reimburse troop/police contributors only for the minor equipment and consumables provided. Should a contingent obtain self-sustainment services from another contingent, reimbursement will be made to the troop/police contributor providing the services unless other bilateral arrangements have been made. When the United Nations provides that service or part thereof, the troop/police contributor does not receive reimbursement for the applicable category or subcategory. A troop/police contributor may choose to procure some minor equipment and consumables from another troop/police contributor on a bilateral basis, or from a civilian contractor, in which case the troop/police contributor remains eligible for reimbursement as long as it meets the operational capability and standards for the categories of self-sustainment.
7. Troop/police contributors are to take note that, in order not to disrupt the operational effectiveness of a mission, it may take up to 90 days for the United Nations to arrange for procurement and support for some self-sustainment categories. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that the United Nations be informed as soon as it becomes known to the troop contributors that a troop/police contributor will not be able or does not wish to continue providing one or some of the self-sustainment capabilities negotiated in the MOU. In these cases, the United Nations and the troop/police contributors will have to agree to an amendment to the MOU in order for the United Nations to take responsibility for the provision of self-sustainment categories that cannot be sustained by troop/police contributors.
8. Where a contingent is employing major equipment for self-sustainment support, the applicable troop/police contributor is not entitled to major equipment reimbursement, but only to the applicable self-sustainment reimbursement. There may be instances where a troop/police contributor provides services such as communications and engineering on a force level, in which case there may be an entitlement to reimbursement for major equipment whereas the same items at the unit level would be considered as minor equipment and incorporated into the overall self-sufficiency cost base and self-sustainment reimbursement. These instances will be negotiated and indicated in annexes B and C to the MOU where applicable.
9. Troop/police contributors are responsible for transportation related to resupply of contingents for consumables and minor equipment necessary for the provision of self- sustainment. The rates approved for self-sustainment include a generic premium of up to 2 per cent to compensate for the cost of transportation of self-sustainment resupply. Troop/police contributors are not eligible to additional reimbursement for the transportation of self-sustainment items.
10. In case of a contingent being required to change location of any base camp (unit or sub-unit level) due to an operational or logistics/administrative requirement, the troop-or police-contributing country may submit a claim to the United Nations for reimbursement of the extra and reasonable costs to reinstall the self-sustainment services under its responsibility (e.g., accommodation, tentage, field defence stores, Internet, catering, etc.).
E-2
Standards
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
11. The inspection team is responsible to verify the categories or subcategories of self-sustainment agreed to in the MOU to assess if the standard of operational requirement approved by the General Assembly is being fulfilled. In the same way, the United Nations must give an account of the services provided by the United Nations as stipulated in the MOU.
Catering
12. To receive the catering self-sustainment reimbursement rate the contingent must be able to feed its troops/police with cold and hot meals in a clean and healthy environment. The contingent must:
(a)Provide kitchen facilities and equipment, including supplies, consumables, dishes and cutlery for the camps they are responsible for as detailed in the MOU;
(b)Provide deep freeze (14 days where required), cold (7 days) and dry food storage for kitchen facilities;
(c)Provide kitchen facilities with hot dishwashing capabilities;
(d)Ensure that kitchen facilities have hygienic equipment that maintains a clean and healthy environment.
Where refrigerated trucks (non-static) are required this will be reimbursed separately under major equipment.
13. The unit is responsible for maintaining and servicing its kitchen facilities, including all catering equipment, repair part and supplies such as dishes and cutlery. When the United Nations provides this service to an equivalent standard, the unit does not receive reimbursement for this category.
14. Food, water and petrol, oil and lubricants are not included in the reimbursement rates as the United Nations normally provides them. When the United Nations is unable to provide those items or for initial provisioning, reimbursement will be made by the United Nations upon presentation of a detailed claim. The claim will be reviewed at United Nations Headquarters and should include the details of the provisioning requested as per the Guidelines to Troop-Contributing Countries or other specific documented request from the United Nations as well as any other supporting substantiation.
Communications
15. The telephone is the preferred means of communication for the contingent; it
will be utilized as much as possible for internal communications within the headquarters, and with non-mobile sub-elements and sub-units of the contingent located in the main base camp. The requirements for VHF/UHF-FM and HF communications within the area of operations will be determined during the site survey and is subject to negotiation with the troop/police contributor. The standards for each communication's subcategories are defined below, in order of usage preference. To receive the communications self-sustainment reimbursement rate, the contingent must meet the following criteria:
(a) Telephone. The contingent will utilize the telephone as its primary means of internal communications within the main base camp. The contingent headquarters and stationary sub-elements (such as offices, workspaces,
E-3
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
observation posts, guard posts, etc.) and sub-units, located at the main base camp, will be wired into the telephone system, as early into the operation as possible, in order to maximize the use of telephonic communications. The telephone system that is deployed should have the ability to interface with the telephone system that is provided on the mission level. The interface could be on the simplest level (i.e., two-wire trunk or better). This would then allow the contingent the ability to access the local telephone system, in cases where such systems are available. Reimbursement will be based upon the number of personnel in the main base camp and those elements of the contingent at other locations that are served by authorized contingent-provided telephone services. To receive the self-sustainment reimbursement rate, the contingent will:
(i) Provide, install, operate and maintain a switchboard and telephone network that is capable of maintaining telephonic communications within the main base camp;
(ii) Provide, install and maintain adequate numbers of telephone instruments to the contingent and its sub-units and sub-elements within the area of operations (this includes all cable, wire, and connectors, and other hardware that may be required);
(iii) Provide a sufficient stock of spare parts and consumables to support operations, and the repair or replacement of malfunctioning equipment.
(b) VHF/UHF-FM communications. VHF/UHF-FM communications will be used as the primary means of radio communications with sub-units and sub-elements of the contingent that are in a tactical or mobile environment, and thus unable to communicate via telephonic means. While VHF/UHF-FM communications may be used by the contingent means of backup communications to the telephone, this type of usage in itself is not a sufficient reason for reimbursement. Reimbursement will be based on the number of personnel in the contingent. To receive the self- sustainment reimbursement rate, the contingent will:
(i) Maintain one command-and-control net down to the sub-unit (section/squad) level;
(ii) Maintain one administration net;
(iii) Maintain one dismounted patrol and security net or other primary non-vehicle mounted net;
(iv) Provide a sufficient stock of spare parts and consumables to support operations and the repair or replacement of malfunctioning equipment.
(c) HF communications. HF communications will be used as the primary means of communications with sub-units and sub-elements of the contingent that are operating within the area of operations that are beyond range of VHF/UHF-FM communications assets and are operating in a tactical or mobile environment, and thus unable to communicate via telephone or VHF/UHF-FM. While HF communications may be used as a backup means of communications to the telephone or to VHF/UHF-FM communications, this type of usage in itself is not a sufficient reason for reimbursement. Additionally, the use of HF communications solely as a means of national rear-link will not be reimbursed. Reimbursement will be based on the authorized number of personnel in the sub-units and sub- elements of the contingent operating within the areas of operations beyond the range of VHF/UHF-FM communications assets and are operating in a tactical or
E-4
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
mobile environment, and thus unable to communicate via telephone or VHF/UHF- FM. To receive the self-sustainment reimbursement rate, the contingent will:
(i) Communicate with sub-units and sub-elements of the contingent that are in a tactical or mobile environment, and thus unable to communicate via telephonic means, and beyond the range of VHF/UHF-FM base station communications;
(ii) Provide a command-and-control net using non-vehicular-mounted HF communications equipment;
(iii) Provide a sufficient stock of spare parts and consumables to support operations and the repair or replacement of malfunctioning equipment.
Office
16. To receive the office self-sustainment reimbursement rate, the contingent must provide:
(a) Office furniture, equipment and supplies for all unit headquarters staff;
(b) Office supplies and services to personnel within the contingent;
(c) Electronic data processing and reproduction capability, including necessary software, to run all internal headquarters correspondence and administration, including necessary databases.
17. The unit is responsible for maintaining and servicing its offices, including all equipment, repair parts and supplies.
18. The rate is to be applied against the total contingent population.
19. The United Nations could provide this capability as a complete self-contained function subject to the agreed overarching principles stated above.
Electrical
20. To receive the electrical self-sustainment reimbursement rate the contingent must provide decentralized electrical power from generators. The decentralized power must:
(a) Ensure stable power supply to small sub-units such as observation posts and small troop camps for company, platoon or section level;
(b) Provide redundant emergency backup when the main power supply, provided through larger generators, is interrupted;
(c) Provide all necessary electrical harnesses, wiring, circuitry and lighting sets.
21. This is not the primary electrical power supply for larger units, which is covered under the major equipment rate.
22. The United Nations could provide this capability as a complete self-contained function subject to the agreed overarching principles stated above.
Minor engineering
23. To receive the minor engineering self-sustainment reimbursement rate the contingent must be able, within its accommodation areas, to:
E-5
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
(a) Undertake non-field defensive minor construction;
(b) Handle minor electrical repairs and replacement;
(c) Undertake repairs to plumbing and water systems;
(d) Conduct minor maintenance and other light repair work; and
(e) Provide all related workshop equipment, construction tools and supplies.
Minor engineering reimbursement rate does not include garbage and sewage collection. Garbage collection from a centralized location per unit is a United Nations responsibility.
24. Repair and maintenance of the United Nations-owned equipment is the United Nations responsibility with reference to Chapter 3, Appendix 16. Any variations or contingencies not covered in Chapter 3, Appendix 16 will be handled on a case-by-case basis by the United Nations and the contributing countries, with reasonability clause being applied in such cases.
25. XXX Manual, Chapter 3, Appendix 16 provide examples of tasks and responsibilities in minor engineering and major engineering in various circumstances.
Explosive ordnance disposal
26. To receive the EOD self-sustainment reimbursement rate the contingent must have the capability for EOD to secure the unit's accommodation area. The contingent must have the ability to:
(a) Locate and evaluate unexploded ordnance;
(b) Dismantle or destroy isolated ordnance that is considered a threat to the contingent's safety;
(c) Provide all related minor equipment, personal protective clothing and consumables.
Ammunition used for disposing of unexploded EOD under self-sustainment is included in consumables and is not reimbursable separately.
27. EOD self-sustainment is only reimbursable when the United Nations has established an operational requirement and specifically requested that service be provided. The requirement for this support will not exist in all missions and will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
28. Demining and EOD equipment should perform in compliance with International Mine Action Standards (IMAS)
29. When a troop/police contributor providing force-level engineering support is tasked to provide EOD sustainment support to another troop/police contributor's accommodation areas, the country performing the EOD support should receive EOD sustainment reimbursement, including the population of the supported contingent.
30. Disposal of significant quantities of ordnance, for example large-scale demolitions resulting from surrendered ammunition and minefields, will be handled by engineering contingents provided by the United Nations.
31. The requirement for EOD self-sustainment should be reviewed 18 months after forces are deployed. If the review determines there is no longer a requirement for EOD self-sustainment, the troop-contributing country will continue to be reimbursed during the six-month period after the official communication to the contingent is made.
E-6
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
After this period, the self-sustainment EOD capability will be repatriated at United Nations cost. During this six-month period, the troop-contributing country can negotiate an amendment to the MOU.
Laundry
32. To receive the laundry self-sustainment reimbursement rate the contingent must:
(a) Provide laundry services for all military/police and personal clothing services, including dry-cleaning of operationally required specialist clothing (if any):
(b) Ensure all laundry facilities have hygienic equipment that allows a clean and healthy environment to be maintained:
(c) Provide all related equipment, maintenance and supplies.
When a contingent is geographically dispersed and the United Nations is able to provide laundry to only a portion of the contingent, the troop- or police-contributing country will receive the laundry self-sustainment rate for those personnel not serviced by the United Nations.
Cleaning
33. To receive the cleaning self-sustainment reimbursement rate the contingent must:
(a) Provide cleaning of facilities for all contingent personnel;
(b) Ensure all facilities have hygienic equipment that allows a clean and healthy environment to be maintained, i.e., cleaning of accommodation and office areas;
(c) Provide all related equipment, maintenance and supplies.
When a contingent is geographically dispersed and the United Nations is able to provide cleaning services to only a portion of the contingent, the troop-or police-contributing country will receive the cleaning self-sustainment rate for those personnel not serviced by the United Nations.
Tentage
34. To receive the tentage self-sustainment reimbursement rate the contingent must have the ability to (read in conjunction with the Guidelines to Troop-Contributing Countries):
(a) House personnel in tented accommodations. Tentage includes flooring and the ability to heat and cool, as appropriate;
(b) Provide ablutions capability under tentage, in which case the ablution facilities will be reimbursed under major equipment;
(c) Provide temporary offices/workspace in tentage.
35. The United Nations can provide this capability as a complete self-contained function subject to the agreed overarching principles for the provision of self-sustainment categories. When the United Nations notifies a troop/police contributor prior to the contingent deploying that this capability is not required, the troop/police contributor will not receive reimbursement for this category. Contingents will initially receive tentage reimbursement for up to six months if not accommodated by the United Nations. If the United Nations confirms that the capability is required, the deploying contingent will continue to decide if it is to provide its own tentage capability, and be reimbursed accordingly. If a contingent is accommodated in hardwall accommodation but is required
E-7
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
to retain a tentage capability for part of the unit to satisfy a mobility requirement, the quantity of tentage agreed upon may be reimbursed as major equipment following negotiations between the troop/police contributor and the United Nations.
36. When the United Nations is unable to provide permanent, semi-rigid, or rigid accommodation for a contingent after six months in tents, the troop/police contributor will be entitled to receive reimbursement at both the tentage and accommodation self- sustainment rates. This combined rate will continue until personnel are housed to the standard specified under the accommodation rate. The Secretariat may request a temporary waiver of the application of this dual payment principle for these short-duration missions where the provision of hard accommodation is demonstrably and clearly impractical and not cost-effective.
Accommodation
37. To receive the accommodation self-sustainment reimbursement rate the troop/police contributor must (read in conjunction with the Guidelines to Troop- Contributing Countries):
(a) Purchase or construct a permanent rigid structure to accommodate the contingent's personnel. This structure is fixed with heating, lighting, flooring, sanitation, and running water. The rate is based on a standard of nine square metres per person;
(b) Provide heaters and/or air conditioners for the accommodation as required by the local climatic conditions;
(c) Provide furniture for eating facilities where necessary;
(d) Provide offices/workspaces in permanent rigid structures.
(e) To ensure proper crew rest and safe conduct of flights, either the United Nations or the troop-contributing country (as agreed) should make every effort to provide aircrews of aviation contingents with the following accommodations: Pilots (as stipulated in the letter of assist) — standard single room accommodation; aircrew (air gunner/engineer/masters, etc.) — to be accommodated in two-person rooms.
38. When the United Nations provides accommodation to an equivalent standard, the troop/police contributor does not receive reimbursement for this category.
39. Warehouses and equipment storage are not included in the accommodation self-sustainment reimbursement rate. This will be handled either through the semi-rigid and rigid structures reimbursed as major equipment or on a bilateral special case arrangement between the troop/police contributor and the United Nations.
40. When the United Nations is unable to provide accommodation to an equivalent standard and the contingent rents a suitable structure, the troop/police contributor will be reimbursed the actual rental cost on a bilateral special case arrangement between the troop/police contributor and the United Nations.
Basic firefighting capability
41. To receive the „basic firefighting” self-sustainment rate the contingent must:
(a) Provide sufficient basic firefighting equipment, i.e. buckets, beaters and fire extinguishers, in accordance with the International Fire Code as amended;
(b) Provide all necessary minor equipment and consumables.
E-8
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
Fire detection and alarm capability
42. To receive the „fire detection and alarm” self-sustainment rate the contingent must:
(a) Provide sufficient fire detection and alarm capability equipment,
i.e. smoke detectors and fire alarm systems, in accordance with the International Fire Code as amended;
(b) Provide all necessary minor equipment and consumables.
Medical
43. In implementing the following principles and standards, the following definitions are used:
(a) Medical equipment: Accountable major equipment (identified by # in appendices 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) for the provision of medical support in United Nations medical facilities;
(b) Drugs: Drugs produced according to WHO standards and consumed in the provision of medical support in United Nations medical facilities;
(c) Medical supplies: Expendable supplies and minor equipment (identified by (a) in appendices 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, 5 and 6) consumed in the provision of medical support in United Nations medical facilities;
(d) Medical self-sustainment: The supply and resupply of drugs and medical supplies for the provision of medical support in United Nations medical facilities;
(e) High-risk mission: A mission with high incidence of endemic infectious diseases for which no vaccinations exist. All other missions are considered "normal-risk mission". This definition is for use in determining eligibility for reimbursement of the self-sustainment rate for "high-risk areas" (epidemiological);
(f) For the purpose of establishing eligibility to medical care through United Nations mission medical facilities, the following personnel are considered part of a United Nations mission:
(i) United Nations-formed military contingents and United Nations-formed police units;
(ii) United Nations military and United Nations police personnel not members of formed units;
(iii) United Nations international civilian staff;
(iv) United Nations Volunteers;
(v) Locally employed United Nations staff, where applicable.
44. When troop/police contributors are deployed on United Nations peacekeeping operations and they provide semi-rigid or rigid structures for a Level 2 and/or 3 medical facilities, these items are reimbursed separately as major equipment, i.e., containers and camp units. If the troop/police contributor builds permanent structures, the United Nations will reimburse the troop/police contributor under major equipment. See chapter 8, annex A, Accommodation equipment, rigid structures and camp unit (medium and large for Level 2 and 3 medical facilities, respectively).
E-9
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
45. In the interim, reimbursement for rigid and semi-rigid structures is to be based on major equipment in accordance with chapter 8, annex A, Accommodation equipment, rigid structures, and semi-rigid structures, camp unit (medium and large for Level 2 and 3 medical facilities, respectively). The Secretariat is directed to apply this interim measure based on the breakdown below:
(a) Semi-rigid structures are for containerized medical facilities:
• Level 2 equates to a camp unit medium
• Level 3 equates to 1 each of a medium camp unit and a large camp unit
Ablution units will be reimbursed as major equipment
(b) Rigid structures are for hard-walled medical facilities:
• Level 2 equates to a medium camp unit
• Level 3 equates to 1 each of a medium and a large camp unit
• Ablution units will be reimbursed as major equipment
46. Medical support and security are essential at all times; therefore, a troop/police contributor cannot be partially self-sustaining in the medical self-sustainment subcategories. Level 1 medical care is a troop/police contributor's responsibility; however each Level 1 facility is to provide medical support and care to all United Nations staff permanently or temporarily in their area of responsibility. As a matter of principle this occasional Level 1 care should be provided in an emergency with no fee; however a troop/police contributor may choose to seek reimbursement for services rendered; therefore there is a requirement to document and register emergency services provided. All United Nations medical facilities are responsible for emergency medical services for all United Nations troops and United Nations staff in their area of responsibility. Except in emergencies, specialists and Level 2, 2+ and 3 facilities can request a referral from a Level 1/1+ facility before accepting a patient.
47. Medical support facilities are often called upon by the mission headquarters to provide care to United Nations and other authorized personnel for whom they are not receiving reimbursement under self-sustainment. In these circumstances, the medical facility is entitled to seek reimbursement for the associated costs by applying a fee-for- service for the medical care provided. The agreed procedures and fee-for-service rates are listed in appendix 11 to annexes A and B to chapter 3. Care provided to non-eligible personnel (e.g., local civilian population) by a troop/police contributor is not reimbursable by the United Nations.
48. A troop/police contributor that cannot provide all medical capabilities according to the standards listed in annex B to chapter 3 must advise the Secretariat during the negotiation of the MOU and in all cases prior to deployment.
49. A contingent Commander must inform the mission immediately if a troop/police contributor, while deployed, finds that it cannot adequately supply medical equipment, drugs or consumables under self-sustainment. If the troop/police contributor cannot find another contributor to offer resupply on a bilateral basis, the United Nations must take over the resupply of drugs, consumables and medical supplies permanently. The responsibility to provide medical personnel and medical services remains with the troop/police contributor. Medical self-sustainment will not be reimbursed from the day the troop/police contributor cannot provide full self-sustainment resupply.
50. To ensure that all personnel receive the medical care that they are entitled to and to ensure that there is an effective and equitable system for reimbursement for medical self-sustainment, all uniformed personnel, police and military, shall be assigned to medical facilities being responsible for their medical care. The assignment can be as part of a unit
E-10
DFS/UNIFIL/SER/01
(for formed units) or on an individual basis (United Nations police, military observers and Headquarters staff). Each individual shall be assigned to a Level 1 or 1+ facility, and/or a Level 2 or 2+ facility and/or a Level 3 facility, where applicable.
51. It is the responsibility of the Chief Medical Officer/Force Medical Officer to ensure that all personnel are informed upon entry into the Mission as to the medical facilities responsible for their care, and to ensure that all medical facilities are notified as to who is assigned to the facility. The same information/notification must be given whenever individuals and units move from the area of responsibility of one facility to that of another.
52. On the fifteenth day of each month a list stating the number of uniformed personnel assigned to each medical facility shall be forwarded to the Field Budget and Finance Division/Memorandum of Understanding and Claims Management Section, with a copy to the Logistics Support Division/Medical Support Section.
53. All United Nations civilian staff shall be assigned to medical facilities in the same manner as uniformed personnel, however, this will not create eligibility for reimbursement under self-sustainment, unless this is explicitly stated in the MOU. Alternatively fee-for-service might apply.
54. All United Nations Level 2, 2+ and 3 medical facilities must be equipped and staffed to receive and treat all United Nations personnel regardless of gender, religion or culture, preserving the dignity and individuality of all patients.
55. Medical staff must be at the forefront in promoting HIV awareness, its method of infection and the prevention of spread. No medical staff or patient must be discriminated against due to verified or suspected HIV. Testing in a United Nations facility must be voluntary and confidential, and no HIV test must be performed without there being a system of counselling.
56. The reimbursement for self-sustainment medical services, including medical- related minor equipment, tools, supplies and consumables, will be made at the rate of self- sustainment for the level of service provided and be calculated on the total personnel strength of the units/contingents for which a medical facility is responsible as agreed in the MOU (the actual strength numbers will be used for calculation of reimbursement).
57. If a troop/police-contributing country provides medical services to United Nations standards, which includes services of more than one level, these levels shall be accumulated accordingly. However, when a Level 3 medical facility covers an area where there is no medical facility providing Level 2 or 2+ medical services, the Level 2, Level 2+ and Level 3 self-sustainment rates are not accumulated. The Level 2, 2+ and 3 combined self-sustainment rate is to be used and the calculation of the reimbursement is to be based on the actual troop strength of those contingents assigned to the Level 3 medical facility for Level 2, 2+ and 3 medical care.
58. To be eligible for reimbursement for the medical self-sustainment rate, the medical facility must provide medical self-sustainment, including all related staff, equipment, drugs and supplies (to include epidemiological high-risk-areas requirements), for basic, Level 1,1+, Level 2, 2+, Level 3 and storage for blood and blood products and high-risk areas as agreed in the MOU. The level of equipment must meet United Nations standards as specified in the "United Nations levels of Medical Support" (A/C.5/54/49, annex VIII, appendices I and II, as amended at A/C.5/55/39, annex III.B, annex B, paras. 31-36, and A/C.5/62/26, annexes III.C.l-III.F.l) for a medical facility and indicated in the MOU. Drugs and consumables must meet WHO standards.
59. In preparing the verification reports for medical self-sustainment, the quality, capacity and capability, as defined in the standards, are the overriding considerations. Therefore, an expert medical opinion concerning the operational impact of any shortfall, discrepancy or corrective action or substitution undertaken, will be required before deduction may be made to the reimbursement.

7.10 Podrazumeva se da Xxxxx ima primarnu odgovornost za sprovođenje istrage za svaki prekršaj dužnosti ili teški prekršaj dužnosti koji počini pripadnik njenog nacionalnog kontingenta.
7.11 U slučaju da Xxxxx ima osnov prima facie koji ukazuje na to da je neki pripadnik njenog nacionalnog kontingenta počinio teški prekršaj dužnosti, ona će bez odlaganja obavestiti Ujedinjene nacije i proslediti predmet svojim odgovarajućim nacionalnim organima za potrebe istrage.
7.12 U slučaju da Ujedinjene nacije imaju osnov prima facie koji ukazuje na to da je neki pripadnik nacionalnog kontingenta Xxxxx počinio prekršaj dužnosti ili ozbiljni prekršaj dužnosti, Ujedinjene nacije bez odlaganja obaveštavaju Vladu. Ako je potrebno da se sačuvaju dokazi i ukoliko Vlada ne sprovede postupak utvrđivanja činjenica, Ujedinjene nacije mogu, u slučajevima ozbiljnog prekršaja dužnosti, po potrebi, ako su Ujedinjene nacije obavestile Vladu o navodima, inicirati preliminarnu istragu radi utvrđivanja činjenica o predmetu, sve dok Xxxxx ne započne svoju sopstvenu istragu. Podrazumeva se, s xxx u vezi, da će svaku takvu preliminarnu istragu radi utvrđivanja činjenica sprovoditi odgovarajuća istražna kancelarija Ujedinjenih nacija, uključujući i Kancelariju za poslove unutrašnjeg nadzora, u skladu sa pravilima Organizacije.

Ujedinjene nacije xx Xxxxx, na njen zahtev, bez odlaganja dostaviti kompletan izveštaj o svojoj preliminarnoj istrazi radi utvrđivanja činjenica.
7.13 U slučaju da Vlada ne obavesti Ujedinjene nacije što je pre moguće, a najkasnije u roku od 10 radnih xxxx od trenutka prijema obaveštenja xx xxxxxx Ujedinjenih nacija, da će započeti svoju sopstvenu istragu navodnog ozbiljnog kršenja dužnosti, smatraće se da Vlada ne želi ili nije sposobna da sprovede takvu istragu i Ujedinjene nacije mogu, po potrebi, bez odlaganja pokrenuti administrativnu istragu o navodnom ozbiljnom kršenju dužnosti. Administrativna istraga koju sprovedu Ujedinjene nacije o bilo kom pripadniku nacionalnog kontingenta treba da poštuje ona zakonska prava propisanog procesa koja su njemu ili njoj zagarantovana prema nacionalnom i međunarodnom pravu. Svaka takva administrativna istraga uključuje, xxx xxx istražnog tima, predstavnika Vlade, ako ga Vlada daje. U slučaju da Xxxxx ipak odluči da započne sopstvenu istragu, Ujedinjene nacije bez odlaganja obezbeđuju Vladi sav raspoloživ materijal o slučaju. U slučajevima xxxx xx administrativna

7.15 Kada Xxxxx odluči da započne sopstvenu istragu i da odredi ili pošalje jednog ili više službenika da ispitaju određeni predmet, ona odmah obaveštava Ujedinjene nacije o toj odluci, kao i o identitetu tog ili tih službenika (u daljem tekstu: ,,Nacionalni istražni službenici").
7.16 Ujedinjene nacije su saglasne da u potpunosti sarađuju i da razmenjuju dokumentaciju i informacije sa odgovarajućim organima Vlade, uključujući sve Nacionalne istražne službenike, koji istražuju eventualno kršenje dužnosti ili ozbiljno kršenje dužnosti xx xxxxxx nekog pripadnika nacionalnog kontingenta Vlade.
7.17 Na zahtev Vlade, Ujedinjene nacije sarađuju sa nadležnim organima Vlade, uključujući i Nacionalne istražne službenike, koji istražuju eventualno kršenje dužnosti ili ozbiljno kršenje dužnosti xx xxxxxx nekog pripadnika njenog nacionalnog kontingenta, povezivanjem sa drugim vladama koje daju doprinos u osoblju za podršku Prelaznim snagama Ujedinjenih nacija u Libanu (UNIFIL), kao i sa nadležnim organima u oblasti misije, sa ciljem da se olakša sprovođenje tih istraga. U xxx cilju, Ujedinjene nacije preduzimaju sve moguće mere da pribave saglasnost domaćih vlasti. Nadležni organi Vlade obezbeđuju da se od nadležnih organa zemlje domaćina dobije prethodno ovlašćenje za pristup svakoj žrtvi ili svedoku koji nije pripadnik nacionalnog kontingenta, kao i za prikupljanje i obezbeđivanje dokaza koji nisu u vlasništvu i pod kontrolom nacionalnog kontingenta.
7.18 U slučajevima kada su Nacionalni istražni službenici poslati u oblasti misije, oni vode istragu. Uloga istražitelja Ujedinjenih nacija u takvim slučajevima biće da pomažu Nacionalnim istražnim službenicima, ako je potrebno, u vođenju svoje istrage u smislu pronalaženja i ispitivanja svedoka, snimanja izjave svedoka, prikupljanja dokumentarnih i forenzičkih dokaza i pružanja kako administrativne tako i logističke pomoći.
7.19 U zavisnosti od svojih nacionalnih zakona i propisa, Vlada je dužna da dostavi Ujedinjenim nacijama nalaze istrage koju su sproveli njeni nadležni organi, uključujući i sve Nacionalne istražne službenike, o eventualnom kršenju dužnosti ili ozbiljnom kršenju dužnosti xx xxxxxx nekog pripadnika nacionalnog kontingenta njene zemlje.
7.20 Kada se Nacionalni istražni službenici rasporede u oblast misije, oni će uživati isti pravni status xxx xx xx pripadnici svojih kontingenta dok borave u oblasti misije ili zemlji domaćinu.
7.21 Na zahtev Vlade, Ujedinjene nacije će obezbediti administrativnu i logističku podršku Nacionalnim istražnim službenicima, dok se nalaze u oblasti misije ili zemlji domaćinu. Generalni sekretar će omogućiti, u skladu sa svojim ovlašćenjima, odgovarajuću finansijsku
podršku za raspoređivanje Nacionalnih istražnih službenika u situacijama kada Ujedinjene nacije, obično Odeljenje za mirovne operacije, zahtevaju njihovo prisustvo i ukoliko Vlada zatraži finansijsku podršku. Ujedinjene nacije će tražiti od Vlade da uputi u misiju Nacionalne istražne službenike kod složenih predmeta visokog rizika i u slučajevima ozbiljnog kršenja dužnosti. Ovaj stav ne dovodi u pitanje suvereno pravo Vlade da istražuje svako kršenje dužnosti pripadnika kontingenta svoje zemlje.
Član 7. odeljak V
Sprovođenje sudske nadležnosti xx xxxxxx Vlade
7.22 Vojni pripadnici i svi civilni pripadnici koji podležu nacionalnom vojnom zakonu nacionalnog kontingenta koje je obezbedila Vlada podležu isključivoj sudskoj nadležnosti Vlade u pogledu bilo kog krivičnog dela ili prekršaja koje bi mogli počiniti dok su dodeljeni vojnom sastavu Prelaznih snaga Ujedinjenih nacija u Libanu (UNIFIL). Vlada uverava Ujedinjene nacije da će koristi takvu nadležnost u odnosu na takva krivična dela ili prekršaje.
7.23 Xxxxx dalje uverava Ujedinjene nacije da će sprovoditi takvu disciplinsku nadležnost ukoliko bude potrebno u odnosu na sva druga kršenja dužnosti koje počini neki od pripadnika nacionalnog kontingenta Vlade dok su raspoređeni u vojni sastav Prelaznih snaga Ujedinjenih nacija u Libanu (UNIFIL) koji se ne ubrajaju u krivična dela ili prekršaje.
Član 7. odeljak VI Odgovornost

Vlada je saglasna da će ti organi doneti odluku na isti xxxxx xxx što bi je doneli u pogledu bilo kog drugog prestupa ili disciplinskog prekršaja slične prirode prema njenim zakonima ili važećim pravilima disciplinkog postupka. Vlada je saglasna da redovno obaveštava generalnog sekretara o razvoju situacije, kao i o ishodu slučaja.
7.25 Ako se istragom Ujedinjenih nacija, u skladu sa odgovarajućim procedurama, ili istragom Xxxxx utvrdi da su osnovane sumnje da komandant kontingenta ne čini sledeće:
(a) Sarađuje sa istragom Ujedinjenih nacija u skladu sa članom 7 odeljak IV, ako se podrazumeva da komandant uspešno sarađuje ako se samo pridržava nacionalnih zakona i propisa svoje zemlje, odnosno istrage Vlade, ili
(b) Sprovodi delotvorno komandovanje i kontrolu, ili
(v) Odmah izveštava nadležne organe ili preduzima mere u vezi sa navodima o kršenju dužnosti o xxxxxx xx izvešten i koji su osnovani, Vlada će osigurati da slučaj bude prosleđen odgovarajućim organima radi preduzimanja odgovarajućih mera. Ocena o ispunjavanju ovih aspekata uključena je u službenu ocenu komandanta kontingenta.
7.26 Vlada shvata značaj rešavanja pitanja koja se odnose na zahteve u vezi sa utvrđivanjem očinstva u koje xx xxxxxx pripadnik njenog kontingenta. Vlada će, u skladu sa svojim nacionalnim zakonodavstvom, nastojati da omogući da takvi zahtevi koje joj dostave
Ujedinjene nacije budu prosleđeni odgovarajućim nacionalnim organima. U slučaju da nacionalno zakonodavstvo Vlade ne priznaje pravnu sposobnost Ujedinjenih nacija da dostavlja takve zahteve, njih će Vladi dostaviti odgovarajući organi zemlje domaćina, u skladu sa važećim procedurama. Ujedinjene nacije moraju da obezbede da takvi zahtevi budu propraćeni potrebnim jasnim dokazima, kao što su uzorak DNK deteta ukoliko to propisuje nacionalno zakonodavstvo Vlade.
7.27 Imajući u vidu obavezu komandanta kontingenta da održi disciplinu i red u kontingentu, Ujedinjene nacije, preko komandanta snaga, obezbeđuju da kontigent bude raspoređen u misiji u skladu sa sporazumom između Ujedinjenih nacija i Vlade. Svako pregrupisavanje mimo sporazuma vršiće se uz saglasnost Vlade ili komandanta kontingenta, u skladu sa važećim nacionalnim procedurama.

2 – Opšti uslovi za glavnu opremu
1. Glavna oprema koja se obezbeđuje saglasno ovom memorandumu ostaje u vlasništvu Vlade.
2. Glavna oprema koja se upućuje na kratke periode zbog specifičnih zadataka ne xxxx xxx ovog memoranduma, odnosno ona se ugovara i usaglašava zasebno u okviru dodatnih ugovora uz ovaj memorandum.
3. Nadoknada troškova za glavnu opremu xxxx xx snazi, u xxxxx iznosu, do datuma prestanka operativnog delovanja zemlje koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama, odnosno do datuma obustavljanja predmetne misije, a zatim će se smanjiti na 50% od ugovorenih iznosa u okviru ovog memoranduma dok artikli glavne opreme ne napuste zonu Misije.
4. U cilju dostizanja standarda funkcionalne ispravnosti, kontingenti imaju mogućnost da održavaju višak materijalnih sredstava u iznosu od najviše 10% od dogovorenih odobrenih količina i da xxx xxxxx materijalnih sredstava upućuju i vraćaju u matičnu državu/vrše njihov ponovni razmeštaj zajedno sa kontingentom. Ujedinjene nacije će preuzeti na sebe upućivanje i povratak u matičnu državu/ponovni razmeštaj, kao i farbanje i prefarbavanje tog viška materijalnih sredstava, ali dotična zemlja koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama neće dobiti nadoknade troškova po osnovu potpunog ili nepotpunog zakupa za bilo kakav višak materijalnih sredstava.
5. Troškovi u vezi sa pripremom formacijske/odobrene opreme radi ispunjavanja dodatnih standarda koje su definisale Ujedinjene nacije za upućivanje u misiju na bazi ugovora o potpunom odnosno nepotpunom zakupu (kao što je farbanje, nanošenje oznaka UN, priprema materijalnih sredstava za zimske uslove) su u nadležnosti Ujedinjenih nacija. Slično tome, troškovi povratka odobrene opreme u okvire nacionalnih zaliha po završetku Misije (kao što je prefarbavanje u nacionalne boje) takođe su obaveza Ujedinjenih nacija. Troškovi će se procenjivati i njihova nadoknada će se vršiti po podnošenju zahteva za potraživanje zasnovanog na spisku odobrene opreme sadržane u ovom memorandumu. Nadoknada troškova farbanja/prefarbavanja vršiće se uz primenu standardnih cena farbanja/prefarbavanja glavne opreme odobrene u okviru ovog memoranduma. Troškovi popravki ne mogu se nadoknaditi kada se ova oprema angažuje na bazi potpunog zakupa, jer su popravke uključene u deo iznosa potpunog zakupa koji se odnosi na održavanje.
3 – Postupci verifikacije i kontrole
6. Glavni cilj postupaka verifikacije i kontrole je da se potvrdi da su uslovi iz ovog bilateralnog memoranduma ispoštovani, kao i da se, prema potrebi, preduzmu korektivne mere. Ujedinjene nacije su u obavezi da se, u koordinaciji sa dotičnim kontingentom ili drugim ovlašćenim organom koga imenuje zemlja davalac doprinosa u vojnim snagama, postara da oprema koju obezbeđuje Xxxxx ispunjava uslove misije UNIFIL i da se ista obezbeđuje u skladu sa Aneksom G ovog memoranduma.
7. Stoga su Ujedinjene nacije ovlašćene da verifikuju status, stanje i količinu obezbeđene opreme i pruženih usluga. Vlada će imenovati lice, koje se obično određuje na
osnovu funkcije koje obavlja, koje predstavlja osobu za kontakt nadležnu za pitanja verifikacije i kontrole.
8. Postupak verifikacije rukovodiće se načelom opravdanosti. Vršiće se procena radi utvrđivanja da xx xx Vlada i Ujedinjene nacije preduzele sve opravdane mere da realizacija aktivnosti bar bude u duhu Memoranduma o razumevanju, ako ne u skladu sa celokupnim sadržajem ovog memoranduma, i da xx xx uzele u obzir značaj predmeta i dužinu perioda kada memorandum o razumevanju nije sprovođen. Rukovodeći princip prilikom utvrđivanja opravdanosti xx xx xx će materijalna sredstva koje obezbeđuje Vlada, kao i xxx xxxx obezbeđuju Ujedinjene nacije ispuniti svoju vojnu funkciju bez dodatnih troškova po Ujedinjene nacije ili Vladu, mimo onih koji su predviđeni ovom memorandumom.
9. Rezultati postupka kontrole biće korišćeni kao osnova za savetodavne odluke na najnižem mogućem nivou kako bi se uklonile protivrečnosti ili odabrale korektivne mere, uključujući i usklađivanje dogovorenih kriterijuma prihvatljivosti za dobijanje nadoknade troškova. S druge strane, strane mogu zatražiti ponovne pregovore o obimu doprinosa, uzimajući u obzir do koje mere Memorandum o razumevanju nije sproveden.
10. Postupak verifikacije za glavnu opremu sastoji se od sledećih vrsta inspekcije:
A. Inspekcija po dolasku
Inspekcija glavne opreme će biti izvršena odmah po dolasku u zonu izvođenja misije i xxxx biti završena u roku od xxxxx xxxx. Ujedinjene nacije će, u konsultacijama sa zemljom koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama, doneti odluku o mestu i vremenu održavanja inspekcije. U slučaju kada se oprema i ljudstvo već nalaze u zoni misije u trenutku zaključenja pomenutog memoranduma, prva inspekcija će biti izvršena na xxx koji zajedno utvrde nadležni organi misije i kontingenta i ista će biti završena u roku od xxxxx xxxx od pomenutog datuma.
Vlada može zatražiti xxx Ujedinjenih nacija radi savetovanja ili konsultacija o pitanjima koja se tiču glavne opreme, ili može zatražiti inspekciju pre dolaska, koja će biti izvršena u luci ukrcavanja (XXX).
B. Operativna inspekcija
Operativne inspekcije, koje vrše propisno ovlašćeni predstavnici Ujedinjenih nacija, realizovaće se u skladu sa operativnim zahtevima tokom boravka jedinica u zoni misije. Glavna oprema će biti pregledana kako bi se osiguralo da su dostavljene kategorije i xxxxx, xxx i broj i dalje u skladu sa ovim memorandumom i da se pravilno koriste.
Ovom inspekcijom će se takođe utvrditi i da xx xx operativna funkcionalnost u skladu sa specifikacijama navedenim u okviru standarda taktičko-tehničkih karakteristika nabrojanih u Aneksu D.
V. Inspekcija prilikom povratka u matičnu zemlju:
Inspekciju prilikom povratku u matičnu zemlju vrše propisno ovlašćeni predstavnici Ujedinjenih nacija kada kontingent ili neka njegova komponenta napuštaju misiju i ona ima za cilj da se osigura da celokupna glavna oprema koju obezbeđuje Xxxxx i isključivo ta
oprema bude vraćena u matičnu zemlju, kao i da se izvrši verifikaciju stanja opreme koja se obezbeđuje na osnovu koncepta nepotpunog zakupa.
X. Xxxxx inspekcije i izveštavanje:
Takođe se mogu primenjivati i dodatne verifikacije ili inspekcije čije vršenje budu smatrali neophodnim komandant snaga ili direktor Uprave opštih poslova/načelnik Odeljenja opštih polova ili Sedište Ujedinjenih nacija, kao što su one koje su potrebne radi podrške standardnom operativnom izveštavanju.
Ujedinjene nacije mogu zatražiti da dođu u posetu matičnim zemljama davalaca doprinosa u vojnim/policijskim snagama koja bi se održala pre upućivanja u misiju, kako bi se pružila pomoć xxx davaocu doprinosa u vojnim/policijskim snagama da izvrši pripreme za upućivanje snaga u misiju, kao i da se izvrši verifikacija podobnosti glavne opreme i sposobnosti/kapaciteta autonomnosti predloženih za upućivanje u misiju.
4 – Transport
11. Ujedinjene nacije će, u konsultacijama sa Vladom, postići dogovore i pokriti troškove u vezi sa upućivanjem i povratkom u matičnu zemlju/ponovnim razmeštajem opreme u posedu kontingenta, od i do dogovorene luke ukrcavanja/iskrcavanja i zone izvođenja misije, bilo direktno ili, ukoliko transport obezbeđuje Vlada, u skladu sa Pismom o podršci (LOA). Za zemlje koje nemaju izlaz na more ili zemlje gde se oprema transportuje drumskim saobraćajnicama ili železnicom do i od zone misije, luka ukrcavanja/iskrcavanja biće dogovoreni granični prelaz.
12. Davaoci doprinosa u vojnim snagama su nadležni za transport za potrebe popune kontingenta rezervnim delovima i pratećom opremom xxxx xx povezana sa glavnom opremom, kao i za potrebe rotiranja opreme i zadovoljavanja nacionalnih potreba/zahteva. Procenjeni iznosi održavanja na mesečnom nivou u okviru iznosa za potpuni zakup već uključuju uobičajeni dodatak od 2% za takvu vrstu transporta. Osim toga, povećanje koje se odnosi na razdaljinu primenjuje se na cene održavanja. Taj dodatak za razdaljinu iznosi 0,25% od procenjenog iznosa za održavanje za svakih pređenih 500 milja (800 kilometara), mimo prvih pređenih 500 milja (800 kilometara) razdaljine duž puta kojim xx xxxxx prevozi od luke ukrcavanja u zemlji koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama do luke/xxxxx ulaska u zonu izvođenja misije. Za zemlje koje nemaju izlaz na more ili zemlje kod kojih se oprema transportuje drumskim saobraćajnicama ili železnicom do i od zone misije, luka/mesto ulaska biće dogovoreni granični prelaz.
13. Nije predviđena nikakva zasebna nadoknada troškova za transport rezervnih delova osim one regulisane u skladu sa procedurama koje se odnose na potpuni zakup.
14. Troškovi u vezi sa rotacijama opreme za potrebe ispunjavanja nacionalnih operativnih ili zahteva u pogledu održavanja i nadalje neće ispunjavati uslove za dobijanje nadoknade troškova od Ujedinjenih nacija.
15. Ujedinjene nacije su nadležne za regulisanje troškova unutrašnjeg transporta glavne opreme od dogovorene matične lokacije do luke ukrcavanja/iskrcavanja. Ujedinjene nacije mogu da organizuju transport do i od matične xxxx; međutim, Vlada će biti nadležna za
regulisanje troškova transporta opreme koja ne xxxxx u glavnu opremu. Nadoknada troškova unutrašnjeg transporta koji nastanu za davaoca doprinosa u vojnim snagama u vezi sa transportom glavne opreme biće izvršena po podnošenju zahteva za potraživanje koji se izrađuje u skladu sa Pismom o podršci, o čemu će se pregovarati unapred pre nego što se transport izvrši.
16. Ujedinjene nacije će biti nadležne za regulisanje troškova transporta prilikom upućivanja i povratka u matičnu državu/ponovnog razmeštaja opreme onog nivoa koji je odobren u okviru ovog memoranduma, kao i rezervne opreme do nivoa odobrenog ovim memorandumom. U slučaju da davalac doprinosa u vojnim snagama upućuje više opreme nego što je odobreno ovim memorandumom plus 10% rezervne opreme, dodatne troškove će snositi dotični davalac doprinosa u vojnim snagama.
17. Kada Ujedinjene nacije pregovaraju o zaključivanju ugovora za povratak opreme u matičnu državu, a špediter prekorači „grejs period” od 14 xxxx od očekivanog datuma dolaska, Ujedinjene nacije će davaocu doprinosa u vojnim snagama nadoknaditi troškove po ceni koja se primenjuje za nepotpuni zakup i to za period koji se računa od očekivanog datuma dolaska do stvarnog datuma dolaska.
5 – Faktori koji utiču na upotrebu opreme u misiji
18. Faktori koji utiču na upotrebu opreme u misiji, kao što je opisano u Aneksu Đ, primenjivaće se, po potrebi, na iznose nadoknade troškova za glavnu opremu.
6 – Gubitak ili šteta
19. Kada se utvrđuje visina naknade za gubitak ili štetu, xxxx xx napraviti razlika između nenamerno izazvanog incidenta i neprijateljskog delovanja/prisilnog odustajanja:
a. Nenamerno izazvan incident: Cene potpunog/nepotpunog zakupa uključuju faktor odsustva krivice radi regulisanja nadoknade gubitka ili oštećenja opreme kod nenamerno izazvanog incidenata. Ne postoji dodatna nadoknada troškova i nikakvi drugi odštetni zahtevi ne mogu se primiti u slučaju gubitka ili oštećenja opreme kod takvih incidenata.
b. Neprijateljsko delovanje/prisilno odustajanje:
i. U situacijama kada gubitak odnosno šteta nastanu kao rezultat pojedinačnih slučajeva neprijateljskog delovanja ili prisilnog odustajanja, davaoci doprinosa u vojnim snagama će preuzeti odgovornost za svaki artikal opreme xxxx xx kolektivna generička srednja tržišna vrednost ispod granične vrednosti od $ 250.000; a
ii. što se tiče glavne opreme koja pretrpi gubitak ili oštećenje kao rezultat pojedinačnih slučajeva neprijateljskog delovanja ili prisilnog odustajanja, Ujedinjene nacije će preuzeti odgovornost za
svaki pojedinačni artikal glavne opreme koji pretrpi gubitak ili oštećenje čija generička srednja tržišna vrednost iznosi
$ 250.000 ili više, odnosno za glavnu opremu koja pretrpi gubitak ili oštećenje kada kolektivna generička srednja tržišna vrednost takve opreme iznosi $ 250.000 ili više.
20. Tamo gde se oprema obezbeđuje na bazi potpunog zakupa, metod koji se primenjuje za izračunavanja visine štete zasniva se na umerenoj ceni popravke. Kod opreme na kojoj je prouzrokovana šteta, smatraće se da xx xxxxx do potpunog gubitka kada troškovi popravke prevazilaze iznos od 75% generičke srednje tržišne vrednosti.
21. Ujedinjene nacije nisu nadležne za nadoknadu troškova u slučajevima kada do gubitka odnosno oštećenja dođe usled zlonamernog ponašanja ili grubog nehata pripadnika zemlje davaoca doprinosa u vojnim snagama, kada to utvrdi istražna komisija koju saziva propisno ovlašćeno službeno lice/zvaničnik Ujedinjenih nacija, o čemu izveštaj odobrava nadležno službeno lice/zvaničnik Ujedinjenih nacija.
7 – Gubitak i šteta tokom tranzita
22. Odgovornost za gubitak ili štetu koji nastanu tokom transporta, preuzeće strana koja organizuje transport. Odgovornost za štetu se primenjuje samo kod znatnog oštećenja. Znatno oštećenje podrazumeva štetu gde troškovi popravke iznose 10% ili više od generičke srednje tržišne vrednosti određenog artikla opreme.
8 – Oprema za posebne slučajeve
23. Osim ako ovim memorandumom nije izričito drugačije predviđeno, gubitak ili oštećenje opreme za posebne slučajeve tretira se isto kao gubitak ili oštećenje glavne opreme.
9 – Odgovornost za štetu na glavnoj opremi xxxx xx u vlasništvu jednog davaoca doprinosa u vojnim snagama, a na korišćenju je kod drugog davaoca doprinosa u vojnim snagama
24. Glavnu opremu može, za potrebe Ujedinjenih nacija, obezbediti jedan davalac doprinosa u vojnim snagama koju će, na zahtev Ujedinjenih nacija, koristiti drugi davalac doprinosa u vojnim snagama. U ovim slučajevima, primenjuju se sledeći principi:
a. Potrebna je odgovarajuća obuka kako bi se osiguralo da je korisnik obučen za rukovanje specijalnom glavnom opremom kao što je oklopni transporter. Ujedinjene nacije će biti u obavezi da se postaraju da se ova obuka realizuje, kao i da obezbede sredstva za tu obuku. O aranžmanima obezbeđivanja i sprovođenja ove obuke, pregovaraće Ujedinjene nacije, davalac doprinosa u vojnim snagama koji daje glavnu opremu i davalac doprinosa u vojnim snagama koji koristi tu glavnu opremu. Rezultati ovih pregovora biće sadržani u okviru posebnog memoranduma o razumevanju;
b. Sa glavnom opremom koju za potrebe mirovne misije Ujedinjenih nacija obezbeđuje jedan davalac doprinosa u vojnim snagama, a koristi je drugi davalac doprinosa u vojnim snagama, postupa se sa dužnom pažnjom. Davalac doprinosa u vojnim snagama koji koristi ovu opremu je odgovaran za plaćanje nadoknade davaocu doprinosa u vojnim snagama koji
tu opremu obezbeđuje, preko Ujedinjenih nacija, za svako oštećenje koje se može pojaviti bilo usled zlonamernog ponašanja, grubog nehata ili nemarnosti osoblja zemlje davaoca doprinosa u snagama xxxx xx korisnik te opreme; i
v. Svaki incident koji uključuje štetu istražuje se i procesuira u skladu sa primenom pravila i propisa Ujedinjenih nacija.

2. Opšti uslovi autonomnosti
1. Prateća oprema i potrošna sredstva obezbeđena u skladu sa ovim memorandumom ostaju vlasništvo Vlade.
2. Naknada troškova autonomnosti važiće po punim cenama do datuma kada zemlja koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama okonča operacije ili završetka misije i od tada se smanjuje na 50 procenata od cena dogovorenih ovim memorandumom i obračunava se na osnovu konkretnih preostalih raspoređenih vojnih snaga sve dok sve osoblje kontingenta ne napusti oblast misije.
3. Postupci verifikacije i kontrole
3. Ujedinjene nacije su, u koordinaciji sa kontingentom ili drugim organom koji delegira zemlja koja pruža doprinos, dužne da osiguraju da oprema koju obezbedi Vlada zadovoljava zahteve UNIFIL i da je obezbeđena u skladu sa Aneksom V ovog memoranduma.
4. Na xxx xxxxx su Ujedinjene nacije ovlašćene da verifikuju status, stanje i količinu opreme i pruženih usluga. Vlada će odrediti lice, koje se obično određuje na osnovu njegove/njene funkcije, koje će biti nadležna osoba za kontakt za pitanja verifikacije i kontrole.
5. Princip nadležnosti treba da upravlja procesom verifikacije. Treba da se proceni da xx xx Vlada i Ujedinjene nacije preduzele sve razumne mere da bi se zadovoljio duh ovog memoranduma ako ne njegova puna sadržina. Rukovodeći princip za utvrđivanje nadležnosti xx xx xx materijal koji Xxxxx xxx i Ujedinjene nacije obezbeđuju zadovoljavaju svoju (vojnu/operativnu) funkciju bez dodatnih troškova za Ujedinjene nacije ili Vladu, osim onih obuhvaćenih ovim memorandumom.
6. Rezultat procesa kontrole će se koristiti kao osnova za konsultativni razgovor na najnižem mogućem nivou radi ispravljanja nedoslednosti ili odlučivanja o korektivnim merama koje uključuju prilagođavanje dogovorenog prava na nadoknadu. Xx xxxxx strane, Strane, zavisno od stepena nesprovođenja ovog memoranduma, mogu zahtevati ponavljanje pregovora o obimu doprinosa. Ni Vlada ni Ujedinjene nacije neće biti kažnjene kada neispunjavanje obaveza bude rezultat operativne situacije u oblasti misije.
7. Proces verifikacije prateće opreme za osoblje i potrošne robe obuhvata tri tipa inspekcije:
A. Inspekcija po dolasku
Prva inspekcija se vrši odmah po dolasku u oblast misije i xxxx xx završiti u roku od xxxxx xxxx. Lice koje Xxxxx ovlasti xxxx da objasni i demonstrira dogovorenu sposobnost autonomnosti. Na isti način Ujedinjene nacije moraju da podnesu izveštaj o uslugama koje Ujedinjene nacije pruže kao što je predviđeno ovim memorandumom. Kada su usluge za obezbeđivanje autonomnosti već uspostavljene u oblasti misije u vreme zaključenja Memoranduma, prva inspekcija se vrši na xxx koji zajedno utvrde rukovodioci misije i kontingenta i završava se u roku od xxxxx xxxx od tog datuma;
B. Operativna inspekcija
Operativne inspekcije se vrše u skladu sa operativnim zahtevima tokom boravka jedinica u oblasti misije. Oblasti u kojima kontingent ima obaveze autonomnosti mogu proći inspekciju da bi se ocenilo da xx xx autonomnost dovoljna i zadovoljavajuća;
V. Ostale inspekcije i izveštavanje
Mogu se primeniti dodatne verifikacije ili inspekcije koje komandant snaga, direktor/šef Štaba za podršku misiji ili Štaba Ujedinjenih nacija smatra neophodnim, kao što je standardno operativno izveštavanje.
4. Transport
8. Troškovi u vezi sa transportom prateće opreme i potrošnih sredstava obezbeđenih u sklopu sistema autonomnosti nadoknađuju se uz uvećanje za prevoz od 2 procenta po cenama datim u ovom aneksu. Nikakvi drugi troškovi ne mogu se nadoknaditi za transport artikala za potrebe autonomnosti.
5. Faktori upotrebe vezani za misiju
9. Faktori vezani za misiju, kao što je opisano u Aneksu Đ, ukoliko se primenjuju, primenjivaće se na cene nadoknade za autonomnost.
6. Gubitak i šteta
10. Ujedinjene nacije neće nadoknaditi gubitak i štetu artikala za potrebe autonomnosti. Te incidente pokriva faktor za incidente bez utvrđene krivice i faktor odobren za misiju za neprijateljske aktivnosti/prinudno napuštanje (pri čemu se faktor za misiju smatra neophodnim), koji se primenjuju na komponentu koja se odnosi na rezervne delove pri potpunom zakupu kao i na cene autonomnosti.

Aneks G
Principi verifikacije i standardi taktičko-tehničkih karakteristika glavne opreme obezbeđene u skladu sa ugovorom o potpunom/nepotpunom zakupu
SVRHA
1. Postoje proverljivi standardi po kojima primenjuju i kasnije nadoknađuju nepotpuni i potpuni zakup. Sledeći standardi, i definicije povezane sa njima, namenjeni su da se primenjuju na opremu navedenu u Aneksu A uz poglavlje 8 Uputstva za opremu u vlasništvu kontingenta. Standardi, navedeni u pogledu operativnih uslova osmišljeni su da budu opšteg karaktera kako bi odgovarali najširem spektru opreme.
PRINCIPI
Sledeći principi se mogu primeniti na svu opremu:
a. Oprema koja stiže na bojište xxxx da bude u ispravnom stanju za upotrebu za njenu primarnu ulogu i da bude već obojena oznakama UN. Kola hitne pomoći i druga vozila namenjena za transport medicinskog osoblja ili sanitetski materijal xxxxx xx xxxx jasno obeležena simbolom kojim se stavljaju pod zaštitu Ženevske konvencije. Svaki zahtev za sklapanje opreme zbog špediterskih ograničenja sprovodiće kontingent o sopstvenom trošku, xxx xxx procesa upućivanja snaga i sredstava. Ovo će podrazumevati dodavanje goriva i maziva koji su uklonjeni zbog prevoza ;
b. Sva povezana prateća oprema, kontrolni spiskovi ili stavke spiska za ukrcavanje tereta xxxx xxxxx da se koriste uz opremu za obavljanje njene uloge pratiće opremu ili biti u jasno označenom teretu kako bi se priključili opremi po dolasku na bojište;
v. U okviru nadoknade za potpuni zakup, zemlja koja daje doprinos odgovorna je za obezbeđivanje opreme za zamenu, rezervnih delova, održavanje, ugovorenu popravku. Osnovni faktor transporta od 2 odsto za ponovnu nabavku rezervnih delova i potrošnog materijala uključena je u cenu potpunog zakupa. Ova xxxxx xx 2 % se dodatno povećava za 0,25 % za svaki potpuni segment od 500 milja ili 800 kilometara, preko prvog segmenta od 500 milja ili 800 kilometara, duž trase pošiljke između luke ukrcaja i xxxxx dolaska u oblast misije;
g. Da bi se zadovoljili standardi upotrebljivosti, kontingenti imaju mogućnost da održavaju dodatnih 10% količine odobrenih Memorandumom za osnovnu opremu xxxx xxxxx da se uputi i xxxxx xx kontingentom. Ujedinjene nacije će biti odgovorne za odgovarajuće troškove upućivanja i vraćanja, kao troškove bojenja, odnosno prebojavanja. Međutim, zemlja koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama neće dobiti naknadu za potpuni ili nepotpuni zakup u slučaju viška materijalnih sredstava;
x. Xxxx o "opravdanosti" treba primeniti kada se procenjuje da xx xx zadovoljen standard taktičko-tehničkih karakteristika. Međutim, sposobnosti, ljudstvo i medicinska oprema i sposobnost da se obavljaju hitni medicinski postupci u skladu sa standardima za medicinsku autonomnost navedeni u Aneksu B Poglavlja 3 , moraju biti prisutne u svako doba. Zemlje koje daju doprinos u vojnim snagama i Ujedinjene nacije ne treba kažnjavati ako taktičko- tehničke karakteristike zakažu usled operativne situacije u oblasti misije;
đ. Svaki komad opreme koji se ošteti u tranzitu biće u nadležnosti strane xxxx xx odgovorna za izradu transportnih aranžmana (videti poglavlje 4. Aneksa B za detalje), i
e. „Poseban slučaj” treba da bude rezervisan za osnovnu opremu za koju nije utvrđena visina nadoknade u Uputstvu za opremu u vlasništvu kontingenta. Osnovna oprema koja predstavlja
„poseban slučaj” treba da bude u vrednosti većoj od 500 američkih dolara (zbirna vrednost svih stavki u kompletu) , i sa životnim vekom dužim od godinu xxxx. Graničnu vrednost treba revidirati tokom planiranog sastanka xxxxx xxxxx za opremu u vlasništvu kontingenta u 2008. godini.
3. Inspekcijski xxx Ujedinjenih nacija će koristiti ovaj memorandum radi provere vrste i količine osnovne opreme koju obezbeđuje zemlja koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama.
4. Treća strana koja održava opremu druge zemlje koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama da ispune iste standarde taktičko-tehničkih karakteristika kao i država koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama pri čemu obezbeđuje održavanje sopstvene opreme.
5. Ako kontigent koristi osnovnu opremu za podršku autonomnosti, važeća zemlja koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama nema pravo na naknadu za osnovnu opremu, već samo na važeću nadoknadu za autonomnost. Može biti slučajeva u kojima zemlja koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama pruža usluge komunikacija, medicinske usluge, inženjerijske usluge na nivou Snaga xxx xxxxx i sredstva snaga i u xxx slučaju može imati pravo na nadoknadu za osnovnu opremu dok će se iste stavke na nivou jedinica smatrati kao prateća oprema obuhvaćena ukupan u ukupnu osnovu troškova autonomnosti. Ovi slučajevi će biti navedeni u dodacima B i V Memoranduma tamo gde je to primenljivo.
STANDARDI
6. Inspekcijski xxx misije za opremu u vlasništvu kontingenta treba da proveri sledeće standarde:
Oprema za komunikaciju
7. Obezbeđenje nadoknade za opreme za komunikacije za potpuni, odnosno nepotpuni zakup primenjivaće se na kontingente za komunikacije koji pružaju usluge na nivou snaga, odnosno, iznad nivoa bataljona ili kontingenta. Usluga xxxx biti dostupna svim jedinicama koje odredi komanda misije i biće obuhvaćena Memorandumom. Memorandumom će se odrediti tehnički uslovi koji će se koristiti.
8. Oprema xxxx da bude dovoljna da obezbedi osnovnu komunikacijsku mrežu koju misija želi. Na bojištu xx xxxx zadržati sposobnost podrške kako bi se obezbedila neprekidna usluga. Oprema za podršku će se upućivati i vraćati sa kontingentom.
9. Kada su jedinicama koje nemaju komunikacije potrebne sposobnosti komunikacije višeg nivoa i za njih se ne plaća nadoknada u okviru cene za komunikacije u sklopu autonomnosti (npr. INMARSATs), oprema xxxx biti odobrena u Memorandumu i u xxx slučaju će moći da se nadoknadi kao osnovna oprema na isti xxxxx xxx i za jedinicu za komunikacije. Inmarsat koji se koristi za potrebe nacionalne veze sa pozadinom je nacionalna odgovornost i ne nadoknađuje se.
Električna
10. Ova oprema služi za obezbeđivanje električne energije iz glavnog izvora za kampove u bazni, preduzeće ili veće raštrkane lokacije, ili specijalističke jedinice koje zahtevaju velike izvore snage xxxx xx 20 kVA (npr. medicinske ustanove, radionice za održavanje). Xxx xxxxx da obuhvati svu odgovarajuću prateću opremu, potrošni materijal i električne instalacije, i kablove za povezivanje krajnjih korisnika. Rasveta, električne instalacije u smeštajnim objektima, i kablovi se nadoknađuju po ceni za autonomnost. Kada su vojne snage ili specijalističke jedinice iz jednog kontingenta raspoređene u drugi kontingent, odgovornost za snabdevanje električnom energijom, sa dovoljno rezervne snage, to xx xxxx definisati u Memorandumu za xxx xxxxxx.
11. Glavni generatori kampova u bazi i generatori za snabdevanje medicinskih ustanova imaće rezervnu mogućnost paralelnog rada. Rezervni kapacitet u svakom trenutku xxxx da bude dovoljan da pokrije medicinske potrebe i xxxx biti povezan sa najvažnijim područjima u medicinskim ustanovama, pri čemu ovi objekti imaju prioritet. Kombinacija proizvodnje dva generatora koristi se za određivanje cene nadoknade. U ovom slučaju, neprekidna „non- stop” sposobnost je potrebna za sve glavne generatore kampova u bazi. Povezane instalacije i kablovi, strujni paneli i transformator treba popravljati ili menjati u roku od dva sata. Pojedinačne generatori (tj. koji ne rade paralelno) xxxxxx xx maksimalno tri sata servisiranja, dolivanja goriva ili popravke u roku od 24 sata.
12. Generatori koji snabdevaju medicinske ustanove moraju imati rezervnu mogućnost i paralelnog rada. Rezervni kapacitet u svakom trenutku xxxx da bude dovoljan da pokrije medicinske potrebe. Kada se vojne snage ili medicinske jedinice jedne države koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama razmeste i sarađuju sa kontingentom druge države koja daje doprinos u vojnim snagama, odgovornost za snabdevanje snaga sa dovoljnim rezervnim kapacitetom biće po dogovoru od slučaja do slučaja i navedeno u Aneksu B Memoranduma.
Inženjerska
13. Cene glavne opreme plaćaće se za glavnu opremu koja se koristi u inženjerijskim zadacima radi podrške misiji. Kontingent i njegova sposobnost moraju se odobriti u okviru ovog memoranduma.
14. Inženjerijska oprema će se održavati tako da se osigura da ona bude trenutno naraspolaganju čim se rasporedi.
15. Kada inženjerijska jedinica ima zadatak da sprovede razminiranje/snage za otklanjanje ubojnih sredstava u ime Misije xxx xxxxx i sredstva Snaga,oprema će se nadoknađivati kao glavna oprema, po potrebi, kao što je dogovoreno u ovom memorandumu. Municija i eksplozivi koji se potroše tokom razminiranja/ operacije snaga za otklanjanje ubojnih sredstava ili, ako komandant snaga ovlasti i usmerava posebnu obuku izvan prihvaćenih standarda gotovorsti UN, mogu se nadoknađivati uz podnošenje zahteva i potvrde od misije. Pošto troškovi municije i eksploziva povezani sa delovima opreme za specijalne slučajeve, kao što su eksplozivi za rušenje koji se koriste u razminiranju/snage za otklanjanje ubojnih sredstava, nisu uključeni u obračun mesečnih cena potpunog zakupa, faktor za dodatni transport nije uključen da nadoknadi troškove prevoza za dopunu. Zbog toga, Ujedinjene nacije će nadoknaditi troškove prevoza za upućivanje, povratak kao i zanavljanja one
specifične municije i eksploziva koji se koriste za razminiranje/ zadaci snaga za otklanjanje UbS na nivou snaga uz korišćenje osnovne opreme koja pripada snagama.
Medicinska i stomatološka
16. Samo za medicinsku opremu obezbeđenu po standardima Ujedinjenih nacija i odobrenu u ovom memorandumu dobijaće se nadoknada kao za medicinsku opremu.
17. Medicinska oprema predviđena u Memorandumu primenjuje se kadgod se medicinska oprema koristi za pružanje medicinskih usluga nivoa 1, 2 i 3 u skladu sa standardima Ujedinjenih nacija koji sadrži opštu medicinu, internu medicinu, hirurške i druge medicinske specijalnosti po dogovoru, stomatološka, higijenska, ambulantna specijalnost, testiranje i obrada krvi, rendgen, laboratorijsko odeljenje i stabilizacija/ mere i sposobnosti za spasavanje života i za evakuaciju na sledeći nivo.
18. Kontingenti moraju da imaju dovoljno medicinske opreme kao što je navedeno u standardima Ujedinjenih nacija za nivoe 1, 2 i 3 medicinskih usluga, kako bi se obezbedilo odgovarajuće ambulantno i bolničko lečenje, osnovne i napredne dijagnostičke usluge, osnovno i napredno spasavanje života, osnovni i napredni hirurški kapaciteti i sposobnosti, dovoljne sposobnosti obnavljanja zaliha, kao i sposobnosti evakuacije povređenih/medicinske evakuacije i kapaciteti u oblasti misije, xxx xxxxx ovom memorandumu. Tražena medicinska oprema xx xxxx obezbediti i održavati u potpuno operativnom stanju, održavanjem aseptičnog i sterilnog okruženja, u skladu sa zahtevima Svetske zdravstvene organizacije (SZO) kako bi se obezbedila neprekidna medicinska podrška i odgovarajući standard za medicinske usluge, uključujući evakuaciju sposobnosti.
19. Ako je na zahtev Ujedinjenih nacija u medicinsku ustanovu nivoa 1 uključena laboratorija, onda se nadoknada isplaćuje za osnovnu opremu „samo za laboratoriju”.
20. Medicinske ustanove nivoa 1 smatraju se „imovinom snaga” i na raspolaganju su svim članovima misije Ujedinjenih nacija. Stoga, medicinska oprema bolnice nivoa 1 ispunjava uslove za nadoknadu po ceni osnovne opreme „bolnice nivoa 1” navedene u poglavlju 8.
21. Za medicinske objekte nadoknada se isplaćuje za svaki modul (tj. samo nivo 1, 2 ili 3, stomatologija i laboratorija) medicinske opreme koja se obezbeđuje sve dok oprema zadovoljava standarde. Obračun troškova za svaku zdravstvenu ustanovu modula, a samim xxx x xxxxxx nadoknade u vezi sa xxx, zasniva se na generičkoj srednjoj tržišnoj vrednosti (GFVM) od svakog komada medicinske opreme za potrebe modula po preporuci Xxxxx xxxxx faze V. Revidirane liste opreme po modulu obuhvataju svu opremu xxxx xx potrebana prema Radnoj grupi faze B za odvojene nivoe, xxx xx nemedicinska oprema (npr. generatori preko 20 KVA, vozila hitne pomoći, opšti higijenski kapaciteti i sistemi za prečišćavanje vode, iako i dalje predstavlja uslov naveden u medicinskim standardima, izuzeta od medicinskog modula GFVM i biće posebno navedena kao osnovna oprema (iz Aneksa B Memoranduma) za odvojenu isplatu nadoknade. Pored toga, izvršena su manja podešavanja na spisku osnovne opreme i izvršene tehničke korekcije. Revidirani zahtevi za medicinsku opremu za svaki modul medicinske ustanove prikazani su u prilozima u ovom poglavlju.
22. Kod pripreme su izveštaja o verifikaciji za medicinske ustanove, kvalitet, kapacitet i sposobnost, kako su definisani u standardima, predstavljaju ono što je najvažnije. Stoga će biti potrebno stručno medicinsko mišljenje u vezi sa operativnim uticajem svakog nedostatka,
neslaganja ili preduzete korektivne mere ili zamene, pre nego što se izvrše odbijanja od nadoknade.
Oprema za posmatranje
23. U okviru potpunog zakupa, oprema za posmatranje će se održavati kako bi se obezbedila operativnost „non-stop”, po potrebi, na svim posmatračkim punktovima. Xxxx xx vršiti rutinska kalibracija opreme.
23. U okviru ugovora o nepotpunom zakupu, Ujedinjene nacije su odgovorne da obezbede dovoljno rezervnih delova i opreme da zadrže isti nivo upotrebljivosti na posmatračkim punktovima.
Smeštaj
25. Polučvrste strukture su objekti sa mekim stranama i tvrdim okvirom koji se mogu premeštati (tj. demontirati i prevoziti). Čvrste strukture se definišu kao objekti tvrdih zidova ili montažni objekti koji mogu biti vezani za lokalne komunalne usluge, ali se može xxxx demontirati i premeštati.
26. Kontejneri su prenosiva skloništa koja se koriste za određenu namenu/uslugu. Postoje tri osnovne vrste kontejnera: montirani na kamion, montirani na prikolicu, i kontejnera na moru. Kontejneri montirani na kamion se mogu demontirati i koristiti odvojeno od vozila. Kontejnere montirane na prikolicu nije potrebno demontirati, ali se za njih ne isplaćuje nadoknada kao za prikolice u kategoriji vozila. Kontejneri na moru moraju da se održavaju prema međunarodnim standardima (odnosno, sertifikovani za prevoženje), kako bi ispunili uslove za nadoknadu.
27. Ako se kontejner koristi xxx xxx podrške predviđene u okviru cene autonomnosti (npr. stomatologija, ugostiteljstvo), za njegovu upotrebu se ne isplaćuje nadoknada kao za osnovnu opremu, već je obuhvaćena važećom cenom autonomnosti.
28. Cene smeštaja uključuju svu prateću opremu i potrošni materijal u vezi sa primarnom funkcijom objekta.
Vazduhoplovi
29. Zbog posebne prirode vazduhoplova, vrsta, količina i kriterijumi taktičko-tehničkih karakteristika biće posebno navedenio u pismima za podršku. Jedinica za vazdušne operacije misije odgovorna je za praćenje i izveštavanje o taktičko-tehničkim karakteristikama aviona.
Naoružanje
30. Naoružanje sa posadom za opsluživanje xxxx biti operativno funkcionalno ispravno po stopi od 90 odsto. Funkcionalna ispravnost obuhvata i podešavanje nišana i kalibraciju oružja i periodično probno gađanje ako je dozvoljeno u oblasti misije. Ujedinjene nacije definišu naoružanje sa posadom za opsluživanje kao svako naoružanje kojim upravlja više od jednog određenog vojnika. Municija za podešavanje nišana, kalibracija, probno gađanje i obuku je potrošna i uključena je u cenu održavanja potpunog zakupa. Xxxx xx municija za obuku nacionalna obaveza osim ako komandant snaga izričito ne ovlasti i usmerava posebnu obuku
izvan prihvaćenih standarda UN za gotovost. Kada se oružje obezbeđuje preko Ujedinjenih nacija, na bojištu će se održavati dovoljne zalihe rezervnih delova Ujedinjenih nacija kako bi se obezbedili standardi funkcionalne ispravnosti.
31. Ujedinjene nacije će isplaćivati nadoknadu državama koje daju doprinos za slanje municije u i iz područja misije. Pošto troškovi municije/raketa, u vezi sa delovima osnovne opreme kao što su protivvazduhoplovna, protivoklopna i miniobacačka oprema, i eksplozivi koji se koriste sa osnovnom opremom, nisu uključeni u obračun mesečnih iznosa potpunog zakupa, faktor za dodatni transport nije uključen u nadoknadu troškova prevoza radi zanavljanja. Shodno tome, Ujedinjene nacije će nadoknaditi troškove prevoza za upućivanje, povratak i zanavljanje one specifične municije i za municiju ili eksploziv koji se koriste sa osnovnom opremom. Pored toga, Ujedinjene nacije će nadoknaditi municiju i eksploziv koji se potroše na obuku izvan prihvaćenih standarda UN za gotovost koje je odobrio i naložio komandant snaga, ali ne i za druge vrste obuke/vežbi u okviru prihvaćenih standarda UN za gotovost za koje se municija smatra potrošnim materijalom koji je pokriven cenom potpunog zakupa ili mesečnom cenom koja se nadoknađuje u okviru cene vojnih snaga za lično naoružanje. Municija koja se potroši na operacije ili specijalnu obuku xxxx xx odobrio i naložio komandant snaga biće prijavljena u izveštajima komandanta snaga prilikom zaključivanja pojedinačnih operacija i nadoknaživaće se početna cena municije pošto Xxxxx podnese zahtev i na osnovu potvrde o utrošku municije u operaciji (OAES) od Misije. Nadoknada se isplaćuje za municiju koja izgubi funkcionalnu ispravnost dok je u području misije. Međutim, oni koji daju doprinos u vojnim snagama odgovorni su za upućivanje municije sa očekivanim vekom trajanja koji xx xxxx od očekivane dužine boravka snaga i sredstava u misiji.
Plovni objekti
32. Zbog posebne prirode plovila, vrste, količine i kriterijumi taktičko-tehničkih karakteristika biće posebno navedeni u Pismima o podršci.
Vozila
33. Inspekcijski xxx je odgovoran da proveri opremu kako bi se proverilo da xx xx klasifikacija izvršena prema opisu/kategoriji utvrđenoj u dokumentu A/S.5/49/70 i A/S.5/55/39.
34 . Komercijalna vozila su definisana xxx xxx vozila koja su trenutno na raspolaganju iz komercijalnog izvora. Vojna vozila su specijalno dizajnirana i konstruisana u skladu sa preciznim vojnim specifikacijama i izrađena da zadovolje određene zahteve vojnih misija. Radna grupa za opremu u vlasništvu kontingenta izradila je kontrolni xxxxxx da se utvrdi da li komercijalno vozilo zadovoljava uslove za iznos nadoknade za vojni model u poglavlju 8. Aneksa A i poglavlja 3 Aneksa B. U slučajevima gde je originalno vozilo komercijalni model, vozilo se može smatrati kao „vojni model” za potrebe isplate nadoknade u okviru opreme u vlasništvu kontigenta, koje podleže pregovorima oko Memoranduma i obavezno ih treba navesti u Aneksu B Memoranduma. Pitanja o tome da li nadogradnja na komercijalnu opremu daje pravo onome koji daje doprinos u vojnim snagama na nadoknadu za vojnu opremu ili ne razmatrati tokom pregovora oko Memoranduma u sedištu Ujedinjenih nacija, uz izuzetan značaj koji se pridaje operativnim zahtevima i principu „razumnosti” u rešavanju nesuglasica.
