A/HRC/7/78 page 195 71. Pursuant to the adoption of the resolution by the Council, a total amount of $21,200 will be required to cover the additional cost of travel and daily subsistence allowance to Geneva for the Independent Eminent Experts. 72. The requirements to provide for the travel of the independent experts have not been included under section 23, Human Rights, of the programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009. Although it is anticipated that an additional amount of $21,200 would be required for the biennium 2008-2009, section 23, no additional resources will be requested as the Secretariat will, to the extent possible, absorb the additional requirements within the appropriations for section 23, Human Rights, for the biennium 2008-2009. 73. A consolidated statement of requirements arising from the continuing review by the Council in response to General Assembly resolution 60/251 and potential absorptive capacity from reduced requirements arising from the amended programme of work under the programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009 will be reported to the Assembly. The Assembly will also be informed at that time of the continuing requirements beyond the biennium 2008-2009 relating to decisions made by the Council. 7/34.
