84 Regulation 2 (i) Officials and experts on mission shall file financial disclosure statements if requested to do so by the Secretary-General. The Secretary-General shall prescribe the format and information to be provided in such statements and shall establish procedures for filing them. The financial disclosure statements will remain confidential and will be used, as prescribed by the SecretaryGeneral, only in making determinations pursuant to regulation 2 (h). It will be for the Secretary-General, in due consultation with the appointing authority in the case of officials not appointed by the Secretary-General, to judge whether a particular fact has given rise to a conflict-of-interest situation. Commentary Regulation 2 (i) is similar to, but more general than, staff regulation 1.2 (n), which requires all staff at the assistant secretary-general level and above to submit financial disclosure statements upon appointment and at intervals as prescribed by the Secretary-General, in respect of themselves and their dependent children, including any substantial transfers of assets and property to spouses and dependent children from the staff member or from any other source that might constitute a conflict of interest. This requirement is designed to minimize the risk of a perception of officials and experts on mission as using their position for personal gain. The regulation enables the SecretaryGeneral to require officials and experts on mission to file financial disclosure statements, which will remain confidential and will be used only in dealing with conflict-of-interest situations (for example, in assessing whether an official was in such a situation). Regulation 2 (j) Officials and experts on mission must comply with local laws and honour their private legal obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligation to honour orders of competent courts. Commentary 1. Regulation 2 (j), which is similar to staff rule 101.2 (c), is really an amplification of regulation 1 (e), which provides that the privileges and immunities of the Organization afford no excuse for non-performance of private obligations (ibid., paras. 32, 54 and 55). 2. Regulation 2 (j) makes clear that private obligations must be honoured. It is the responsibility of those subject to the present Regulations, if they have a court order against them that they contest, to avail themselves of all means
