A/HRC/S-3/2 page 10 ANNEXES ANNEX I Administrative and programme budget implications of the resolution adopted by the Council at its third special session Statement on programme budget implications (PBI) 1. Under the terms of operative paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 of draft resolution A/HRC/S-3/L.1, the Human Rights Council would: (a) Decide to dispatch a high-level fact-finding mission urgently to Beit Hanoun to investigate human rights violations resulting from the recent Israeli assaults including the killings of civilians and destruction of property and infrastructure therein; (b) Request the Secretary-General and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to provide all administrative, technical and logistical assistance required to enable the fact-finding mission to fulfil its mandate promptly and efficiently; and (c) Request the fact-finding mission to report to the Council no later than the middle of December 2006 on progress made towards the fulfilment of its mandate. 2. The terms of the draft resolution require analysis and review of the level of resources required to implement the related activities. Owing to the one-day duration of the third special session of the Council, there is not sufficient time for the Secretariat to prepare and present a related statement of administrative and financial implications of the draft resolution. This oral statement is presented to inform the Council that the resources required to implement the draft resolution would, to the extent possible, be met from resources approved by the General Assembly under section 23, Human rights, for the programme budget in the biennium 2006-2007. 3. However, the Secretariat expects to carry out a thorough review of the implications of the draft resolution and, in accordance with established budgetary procedures, prepare a written statement containing a detailed analysis of the programme budget implications of the draft resolution which would be submitted to the General Assembly at the time it considers this resolution. It should be recalled that, under the procedures established by the General Assembly in its resolutions 41/213 and 42/211, a contingency fund is established for each biennium to accommodate additional expenditures derived from legislative mandates not provided for in the programme budget. Under this procedure, if additional expenditures are proposed that exceed the resources available from the contingency fund, the activities concerned can be implemented only through the redeployment of resources from low-priority areas or the modification of existing activities. Otherwise, such additional activities must be deferred to a later biennium.
