The following table and graph illustrates the total UN peacekeeping operations expenditures since 1975 and compares the total payment arrears of member states to the UN peacekeeping operations budget.
Table Notes:
All sums are rounded in $US millions. Peacekeeping Expenditures: Since 1996 the Peacekeeping budget is measured by July-June basis instead of by calendar year. GPF has calculated the calendar year figures since 1996 by adding the prior and the current years' figures and dividing by two. From 2000 onwards, peacekeeping data represent approved budgets rather than actual expenditures.

Data prior to 1986 calculated from Joseph Baratta, “International Peacekeeping: History and Strengthening” (Washington: Center for UN Reform Education, 1989).
