31. 东道国为联合国在智利的行动，特别是为拉加经委会房地，提供了重大支助。拉加经委会总部大楼是 1965 年在智利政府 1960 年捐赠的五公顷土地上建造的。拉加经委会的需求不断增长，政府在 1997 年再捐赠两块土地，使总面积增至 5.9公顷。1948 年 2 月签署的东道国协定规定特权和豁免，包括为公务目的订立合同和进口材料，如建材、设备和基础设施等，享有免税待遇。所有建筑项目都享有这些优惠待遇，导致总成本降低，进口安排因为同东道国作出的联络安排而加快。
31. The host country has provided significant support for United Nations operations in Chile and specifically for the ECLAC compound. The ECLAC headquarters building was constructed in 1965 on a five hectare lot donated by the Government of Chile in 1960. The needs of ECLAC continued to grow and in 1997 the Government donated an additional two plots, increasing the total area to 5.9 hectares. A host country agreement was established in February 1948, providing for privileges and immunities, including duty exemption for contracts and importation of materials for official purposes, such as construction materials, equipment and infrastructure. These benefits would be extended to any construction project, leading to reduced overall cost and expedited importation arrangements through the established host country liaison arrangements.
