To implement the activities called for in paragraph 6 of the resolution, an estimated
$73,300 would be required under section 23 (Human Rights) to provide for consultancy
services. Although provisions have not been included under section 23 of the proposed
programme budget for the biennium 2010-2011 to implement activities called for in
paragraph 6 of the draft resolution, the Secretariat will review the potential absorptive
capacity to meet the estimated requirements of $73,300 from within section 23 of the
proposed programme budget for the biennium 2010-2011, which will be considered by the
General Assembly at its sixty-fourth session. The determination of the absorptive capacity
will be made in the report of the Secretary-General on the revised estimates of requirements
arising from the decisions and resolutions adopted by the Human Rights Council for 2009,
which will be reported subsequently to the Assembly at its sixty-fourth session.
A/HRC/11/L.19.
Amendments to draft resolution A/HRC/11/L.17 on the situation of
human rights in the Sudan
25.
With regard to the amendments proposed under draft text A/HRC/11/L.19, the
adoption of the amendments would replace the current mandate of Special Rapporteur with
that of an independent expert on the situation of human rights in the Sudan. The related
financial implications would amount to a total of $64,600 per year. However, the
requirements for that mandate have been included in the programme budget for 2008-2009
and requested under the proposed programme budget for 2010-2011; therefore, there would
be no additional appropriations as a result of the adoption of the amendments proposed.
