The Core UN Budget
Regular Budget, Peacekeeping Operations Budget,
International Tribunals Budget and Capital Master Plan Budget*
The Core UN budget includes the Regular Budget, the Peacekeeping Budget, expenditures for the International Tribunals in Rwanda and Former Yugoslavia, and the Capital Master Plan, introduced in 2003 to fund much needed renovation of the UN headquarters in New York. All these budgets are financed through assessments from UN member states, calculated according to each country's capacity to pay. The Regular Budget and costs of the Peacekeeping Operations represent the bulk of the core budget, while the international tribunals and in particular, the capital master plan only represents a small share.
