implementation of his/her mandate to the Council and to the General Assembly, making
suggestions and recommendations regarding the human rights of internally displaced persons,

It is estimated that, pursuant to the resolution adopted by the Council, a total amount
of $51,300 per year (or $102,600 per biennium) will be required to implement the activities
called for in paragraphs 5 and 10, as follows:
(a) Travel of the Representative of the Secretary-General 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
($34,300);
(b) Travel of staff to accompany the Representative of the Secretary-General during field
missions ($9,800);
(c) Local transportation, security, communication and other miscellaneous expenses
during field missions ($7,200).
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 10, 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.
