The Swiss Government provides the Commission with the necessary administrative facilities for the performance of its functions. The administrative expenses of the Commission are met by contributions from the States which have made the declarations under the Protocol and by voluntary contributions.
The States parties have now adopted a set of financial regulations which in essence adopt the proportions established by the United Nations General Assembly for the expenses of the United Nations. The party or parties to the conflict requesting an enquiry must advance the necessary funds for the expenses incurred by a chamber and are to be reimbursed by the party or parties against which allegations are made to the extent of 50% of the costs of the chamber.
