THE STOCKHOLM PROCESS | 52 small, dedicated Expert Panel support facility within the UN Secretariat. 2. Second, whatever form it may take, the envisioned support facility should have built-in safeguards to assure that its functions do not compromise the independence of the ad hoc Expert Panels and Monitoring Mechanisms. 3. Third, to meet immediate needs, the development of the recently established standing Roster of Experts, as well as the elaboration of transparent methods for their selection, and steps to centralize and store accumulated documents and information of past and current Expert Panels and Monitoring Mechanisms should proceed in the interim. These capacities can be built into the Sanctions Branch as currently structured and need not await a decision by the Security Council of the final form of the proposed support facility. Budgetary Resources § 116 That adequate budgetary support is critical to the effective implementation, monitoring and enforcement of targeted sanctions is self-evident. Thus far, however, the Sanctions Branch and Sanctions Committees have had to scramble to secure financing of the Expert Panels and Monitoring Mechanisms. Ideally, this financial support should be anticipated, budgeted, and supplied from the outset of the creation of an Expert Panel or Monitoring Mechanism, as failure to do so can lead to unnecessary and costly delays in their field investigations, incomplete investigations, and the late remuneration of experts. § 117 To date, however, it has proven difficult to ascertain the realistic budgetary needs of the Expert Panels or of UN sanctions implementation more broadly. In particular, there has been no systematic assessment of the budgetary requirements of the Expert Panels and Monitoring Mechanisms, a problem exacerbated by frequent recourse to Trust Funds. It was also noted that those Sanctions Committees chaired by representatives of well-endowed states have had additional, extra-budgetary resources to draw upon. While this has improved the monitoring capacity of select sanctions regimes, it has also created a discrepancy in capacity and performance among sanctions regimes.
PART II: MEASURES TO STRENGTHEN THE ROLE OF THE UN | 53 RECOMMENDATIONS § 118 From this analysis of how to enhance the capacity of the UN Secretariat, the following concrete recommendations can be suggested. Box 9. Enhance the Capacity of the UN Secretariat § 119 § 120 § 121 Upgrade Human Capacity of the Sanctions Branch ° Ensure that the Sanctions Branch is adequately staffed to fulfill effectively its mandated tasks of providing administrative, logistical, and analytical support to the Sanctions Committees, Expert Panels, and Monitoring Mechanisms. Improve Analytical and Information Capacity ° Establish a centralized and accessible database of all sanctions-related information collected from Expert Panel and Monitoring Mechanism investigations as well as from other sources and provide a fulltime information specialist to manage the database. ° Further systematize and consolidate the newly implemented Roster of Experts of those nominated by member states and others, based on best practices, according to clear criteria, and that includes relevant types of expertise: country experts, sanctions experts, law enforcement professionals, specialists on international transport, small arms smuggling, financial flows, etc. ° Consider establishing an Internet Web Portal on UN sanctions implementation Committees as a data-retrievable repository of sanctions-relevant research and reports that would be accessible to authorized users. Ensure Adequate Budgetary Support for Sanctions Implementation ° Confirm the UN regular budget as the main funding source for sanctions implementation. ° Develop an assessment mechanism and general guidelines to determine the budgetary support that is required for each Expert Panel and Monitoring Mechanism to facilitate the cost estimates elaborated between the Secretariat and the panels. ° Ensure an adequate budgetary allocation that Chairs of the Sanctions Committees may use for activities relevant to implementation, including travel to the region.
