III.ADJUSTMENT OF PENSIONS

Recalling section TIT. paragraph 6, of its resolution 1561 (XV) of 18 December 1960 in which it requested the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Board to study, at its next session, methods by which any future adjustments in benefits, after their award, might be made,

Havin.rr noted that the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Board, after further considering the matter at its eleventh session, concluded that:

The formulation of a permanent system of adjustment required further detailed study,

Pending the adoption of such a system, an interim adjustment was desirable,

Resolves that, as a temporary measure, pensions and annuities in payment and deferred annnities awarded as at 31 December 1961, 1962 and 1963 shall be increased by 1 per cent on 1 January 1962, 1963 and 1964, this increase not to apply to the minimum amount of retirement benefits under article IV.1 (b) (i), of widows' ( or disabled widowers') benefits under article VH .4 (a), or to the minimum and maximum amounts of children's benefits under article VIII.2 and 3.
