* UNTSO funding is tied to the Golan Heights Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF ).

** This date is based on the U.N. 2002-2003 funding plan as money for UNMOGIP comes from the regular U.N. budget.

*** No end date has ever been set. UNIKOM is currently funded through June 30, 2003.

# This technically is not a peacekeeping mission. It falls directly under the Security Council.
