35. 行预咨委会在审议秘书长关于联合国埃博拉应急特派团(埃博拉特派团)的报告时获悉，联合国后勤基地用本组织资源高价采购 8 辆装甲车并运往该特派团，其中至少有两辆装甲车毫无必要，因为为其购置装甲车的工作地点的安全局势不需要提供保护。在与秘书长代表进行交流和问询收到多次书面答复后，仍不明了在采购之前是否适当考虑到了联合国安全和安保部对计划部署地点提出的评估意见。行预咨委会认为，这一情况对本可制止采购行动的决策链和内部控制效力、以及如何切实执行问责制，包括个人和财务问责提出了问题。委员会将在审议该特派团拟议预算时继续处理这一具体问题。但是，委员会认为，这一案件反映了
35. During its consideration of the report of the Secretary-General on the proposed budget for the United Nations Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER), the Advisory Committee learned that at least two of eight armoured vehicles that had been acquired by the United Nations Logistics Base at Brindisi, Italy, at a high cost to the Organization and that had been transported to the Mission, were not required because the security situation at the location for which the vehicles were intended did not warrant such protection. On the basis of its exchange with the representatives of the Secretary-General, as well as the multiple written responses it had received to its queries, it is not clear to the Advisory Committee whether the assessment by the Department of Safety and Security on the locations of the planned deployment of the armoured vehicles had been properly taken into account prio r to the acquisition. The Advisory Committee is of the view that such a situation raises questions about the chain of decision-making and the effectiveness of the internal controls that could have prevented such acquisitions, as well as about how accountability, including personal and financial accountability, is applied on a practical level. The Committee will address this specific issue further in the context of its consideration of the proposed budget for the Mission.
