Requests the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Board to continue its study of the system of adjustment of benefits in respect of cost-of-living changes, bearing in mind the views expressed· on this question at the thirty-first session of the General Assembly and in the light of the actuarial valuation of the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund as at 31 December 1976, and to submit its recommendations to the Assembly at its thirty-third session;

Decides that the system of adjustment of benefits approved pursuant to section I of General Assembly resolution 3354 (XXIX) of 18 December 1974 shall remain in force until 31 December 1978;

Further decides that one of the guidelines for the future deliberations of the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Board should be that the principle of compensating by whatever means for country-to-country differences in the cost of living should be given limited recognition falling short of equality of purchasing power so as to ensure that the new scheme does not require an increase in the present or future financial liabilities of Member States;

VI

Endorses the view of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions that, in the study of adjustment proposals to be submitted to the General Assembly at its thirty-third session, the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Board should take into account not only the results of the actuarial valuation of the Fund as at 31 December 1976, but also all relevant findings of the International Civil Service Commission, as referred to in paragraph 22 of the report of the Advisory Committee, 92 together with all aspects of national taxation which may be pertinent;

Also endorses the view of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions that, in making its proposals on adjustment at that time, the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Board should take account of the questions of principle referred to in paragraph 27 of the report of the Advisory Committee92 and of the alternatives referred to in paragraph 28 thereof;

VII

Decides to authorize payments during 1977, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000, to be made by the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund to compensate those pensioners whose pensions in the country of their residence have decreased in purchasing power to a significant extent; the guidelines to be followed for such payments are that they shall be made only in respect of that part of the loss which exceeds 20 per cent and only with respect to pensions which, after such adjustment, do not exceed 50 per cent of the net base salary of a Professional staff member in the P-1, step 1, category, and a report on the expenditures thus made in pursuance of the present resolution shall be submitted by the Board to the General Assembly at its thirty-second session.
