46. Provisions have not been made under sections 2, 23 and 28 E of the programme budget for
the biennium 2008-2009 for the activities outlined in the table above. Although additional
requirements of $278,800 for 2008 and $312,500 for 2009 will be required under sections 2, 23,
and 28 E for the biennium 2008-2009, as a result of the adoption of the resolution, a preliminary
review leads the Secretariat to assume that some absorption of the estimated requirements is
possible. The Secretariat will seek to identify areas from which resources can be redeployed to
meet the requirements in the biennium 2008-2009. At the time the General Assembly reviews the
question of the revised estimates resulting from decisions made by the Council at its seventh
session, it is anticipated that the Secretariat would be in a position to inform the Assembly on
how the additional requirements could be met.
47. Since the period for the renewal of the mandate extends into the biennium 2010-2011, the
requirements for 2010 will be considered in the context of the preparation of the proposed
programme budget for the biennium 2010-2011.
48. With regard to paragraph 3, attention is drawn to the provisions of section VI of
General Assembly resolution 45/248 B, and subsequent resolutions, the most recent of which is
resolution 62/236, in which the Assembly reaffirmed that the Fifth Committee was the
appropriate Main Committee of the Assembly entrusted with responsibilities for administrative
and budgetary matters and reaffirmed the role of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and
Budgetary Questions.

(b) Requested the Special Rapporteur to report to the Council in accordance with its

all necessary assistance for the effective fulfilment of his/her mandate, in particular staff and
resources, including to carry out and follow up on missions;

Rapporteur were brought to the attention of the Commission on the Status of Women, the

Status of Women and to the General Assembly.
