It is estimated that, pursuant to the resolution adopted by the Council, a total amount
of $61,300 per year will be required to implement the activities called for in paragraphs 18, 21
and 22, as follows:
(a) Travel of the Special Rapporteur for consultations and/or to attend the annual
meeting of special procedures and to present a report to the Council, for two field missions per
year and one trip to New York to present a report to the General Assembly ($44,300);
(b)
Travel of staff to accompany the Special Rapporteur during field missions ($9,800);
(c) Local transportation, security, communication and other miscellaneous expenses

3.
The requirements to implement the activities for the mandate of the Special
Rapporteur have been included under Section 23, Human rights, of the proposed programme
budget for the biennium 2008-2009. Since the period for renewal of the mandate extends into the
biennium 2010-2011, the requirements for that period will be considered in the context of the
preparation of the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2010-2011. No additional
appropriations will be required as a result of the adoption of the resolution.
4.
With regard to paragraph 19, attention is drawn to the provisions of section VI of
General Assembly resolution 45/248 B of 21 December 1990, in which the Assembly reaffirmed
that the Fifth Committee was the appropriate Main Committee of the Assembly entrusted with
responsibilities for administrative and budgetary matters, and reaffirmed the role of the Advisory
Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions. The attention of the Council is also
drawn to paragraph 67 of the first report of the Advisory Committee on the proposed programme
budget for the biennium 2000-2001, in which the Committee noted that the use of the phrase
“within existing resources” or similar language in resolutions had a negative impact on the
implementation of activities; therefore, efforts should be made to avoid the use of this phrase in
resolutions and decisions.
