A/HRC/7/57 page 7 24. Pending the review of the report to the Assembly, OHCHR is working closely with the Office of Human Resources Management to proceed with some of the recommendations made by the Third and Fifth Committees. 25. While seeking to improve the geographical distribution of its staff members, OHCHR will continue to pay special attention to the issue of gender balance, an area in which determination and concerted effort have already brought success, as demonstrated by the fact that as at 31 December 2007, 49.7 per cent of regular OHCHR staff and 48.7 per cent of temporary OHCHR staff at the Professional level were women, equivalent to an overall percentage of 49.4. III. CONCLUSION 26. The implementation and results to date of the High Commissioner’s framework to improve geographic diversity reflect the high priority that the High Commissioner is giving to this issue in OHCHR. The success of the Office’s efforts is now clearly apparent in the improved geographical diversity of its staff. Additional measures developed in consultation with OHRM pursuant to General Assembly resolutions will further strengthen those efforts.
