In twofive of the individual claims identified as potentially overlapping with E4 claims, the Panel considers that the claim wass were not overlapping as the individual claimant was weres claiming losses that were related to the E4 claimant companies but were not overlapping losses (for example, where the individual claimant is seeking compensation for a loss of salary or management fee from the E4 claimant).

Concerning the issue of duplicate claims, the secretariat indicated that it was aware of the risk of duplicate claims from the outset of claims processing and took steps to identify and eliminate such claims during the course of claims processing.

Where claimants state on their claim forms that their business is located in either Iraq or Kuwait, the claim is not individually reviewed but electronically processed.

Specifically, the secretariat, in valuing the claimant's D6 (loss of income) claim, incorrectly treated it as a duplicate of the claimant's C6 (salary loss) claim, resulting in an erroneous reduction of the amount of compensation awarded to the claimant for his C6 claim.

This global approach was suited to the specifics of category C claims processing, as category C claims are subject to mass claims processing procedures and are not subject to extensive individual review or claim development.

The claim of the Palestinian claimant is now before the Panel.

Overall, there are 31,31,70 claims that the Panel has determined to be ineligible for inclusion in the late claims programme because the claimants failed to provide satisfactory reasons for late filing.

By contrast, in one set of potentially overlapping claims, the Panel reached the conclusion that the claims were overlapping, despite the individual claimant's assertion that his claim was mistakenly filed in the name of the E4 claimant.

A similar exercise was conducted with respect to category C for the purpose of identifying duplicate claims during claims processing.

The service is divided into two sections the Claims and Information Management Section and the Financial Support Section.

In addition, it is also responsible for the administration of third party claims, including commercial disputes.

15. Endorses the recommendation of the Advisory Committee to create one P 4 post and one General Service post in the Claims and Information Management Section of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations of the Secretariat,See A 51 906 and Corr.1, para. 22. and requests the Secretary General to utilize the P 2 post proposed for redeployment to the Personnel Management and Support ServiceSee A 51 890, annex I.A, para. 35.

During that time, notifications were issued in respect of 28,911 claims, representing per cent of the total claims population, to elicit further information concerning the claimants' reasons for late filing.

This claim unit was deferred from the second instalment of F4 claims.

The claims that were considered duplicated were not processed and the Panel recommends no awards of compensation in respect of these claims.

Provision is made for miscellaneous claims and adjustments ( 50,000).

Despite the poor quality of evidence submitted in support of the claims, the Commission concluded that the significantly reduced awards were reasonable.

Observing that in the course of claims processing, a number of category C , D and E competing claims were identified where two or more claimants claimed for the losses of the same business or company,

During their interviews, the claim preparers denied that they fabricated or altered evidence to bolster a claim or assisted claimants without valid losses to fabricate claims.

Of these 2,405 claimants, 1,446 are listed in the Executive Committee database.

Details of the errors made in the processing of two of the four claims included in part two of the third instalment of F3 claims are set forth below.

As a result, approximately 5,000 duplicate claims were identified and eliminated during the course of claims processing.
