Review in all official languages of the United Nations
1.
In paragraphs 1 to 4 of draft decision A/HRC/11/L.2 (adopted as decision 11/117),
the Council decided to adopt the following decision and to submit it to the General
Assembly, as a matter of priority:
(a)
To request the Secretary-General to issue all the reports adopted by the
Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review at its fourth and fifth sessions and the
additional information submitted by the States under review before the adoption of the
outcome by the Council, as official documents in all official languages of the United
Nations prior to the holding of the twelfth session of the Council;
(b)
To recall that the Working Group should endeavour to apply in its reports the
word limits established in the annex to President’s statement 9/2, bearing in mind that the
Working Group is entrusted with the authority to decide on the adoption of reports that
exceptionally exceed those word limits;
(c)
To decide that all reports adopted by the Working Group should be issued as
official documents in all official languages of the United Nations, in a timely manner before
their consideration by the Council, and to request the Secretary-General to ensure the
necessary support to that effect.

The requirements for the translation of reports called for under the terms of the
decision are estimated at $1,439,800 each for the biennium 2008-2009 and at $4,378,900
for the biennium 2010-2011, under section 2 (General Assembly and Economic and Social
Council Affairs and Conference Management). The requirements for translation of the
reports of the Working Group were not included in the programme budget for the biennium
2008-2009. They have however been included in the proposed programme budget for the
biennium 2010-2011.

It is estimated that the total additional requirements for the biennium 2008-2009 of
$1,439,800 could be met from within the overall resources appropriated under section 2 of
the programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009, through the mechanism of integrated
global management of resources. With regard to the requirements for the biennium 20102011, provisions have been made in the proposed programme budget for the biennium
