A/HRC/11/37 identification of the human rights dimensions of preventable maternal mortality and morbidity; an overview of initiatives and activities within the United Nations system to address all causes of preventable maternal mortality and morbidity; identification of how the Council could add value to existing initiatives through a human rights analysis; identification of options for the Council to support and increase existing efforts in the United Nations system, including efforts to achieve Millennium Development Goal 5 on improving maternal health, and recommendations for better addressing the human rights dimension of preventable maternal mortality and morbidity throughout the United Nations system. 24. 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. 186 GE.09-16766
