A/HRC/6/22 page 162 Section 2, General Assembly and Economic and Social Council affairs and conference management Section 23, Human rights Section 28E, Administration, Geneva Total United States dollars 53 700 80 800 700 135 200 3. Provisions have not been made under sections 2, 23 and 28 E of the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009 for the activities envisaged under the paragraph 2 of the resolution. Although it is anticipated that additional resources of $135,200 will be required as detailed in paragraph 2 above, no additional resources will be requested, at this juncture, in the light of the continuing review by the Council of its subsidiary machinery pursuant to General Assembly resolution 60/251. The consolidated statement of requirements arising from the continuing review by the Council and potential absorptive capacity from reduced requirements arising from the amended programme of work under the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009 will be reported to the General Assembly. 6/21. Elaboration of international complementary standards to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination 1. Under the terms of subparagraph (a) of resolution 6/21, the Human Rights Council decided to convene the inaugural session of the Ad Hoc Committee on Complementary Standards during the first semester of 2008, to commence its mandate. 2. It is estimated that, pursuant to the resolution adopted by the Council, conferenceservicing requirements will arise. It may be recalled that, at its third session in December 2006, upon adoption of its decision 3/103, the Council was informed in an oral statement of the programme budget implications of its decision to establish an Ad Hoc Committee of the Council on the elaboration of complementary standards. At that time, it was estimated that requirements of $607,100 will arise for the biennium 2006-2007, of which $227,700 related to the Ad Hoc Committee and $379,400 related to an additional session of the Intergovernmental Working Group. Requirements of $451,800 were also expected to arise for conference services in the biennium 2008-2009, for the Ad Hoc Committee. No request for additional appropriations is anticipated in the biennium 2006-2007 since the inaugural session of the Ad Hoc Committee is expected to be held during the first quarter of 2008. 3. With regard to the requirements for the biennium 2008-2009, conference-servicing provisions have been made in the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009, under section 2, General Assembly and Economic and Social Council affairs and conference management, and section 28 E, Administration, Geneva.
