adopted by the Council at its fifth special session
Statement on programme budget implications (PBI)
1.
Under the terms of paragraphs 9 and 10 of resolution A/HRC/S-5/1, the Human Rights
Council:
(i)
Requests the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar to
assess the current human rights situation and to monitor the implementation of this
resolution, including by seeking an urgent visit to Myanmar, and to report to the
resumed sixth session of the Human Rights Council, and in this respect urges the
Government of Myanmar to cooperate with the Special Rapporteur;
(ii)
Requests also the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar to
inform the General Assembly at its sixty-second session on progress in this regard.
2.
According to the decision by the Human Rights Council, it is estimated that a total amount
of US$ 46,700 would be required to implement the activities called for in operative paragraphs 9
and 10, for:
(i)
Travel of the Special Rapporteur to Myanmar, to Geneva for the presentation of the
report to the Council, and to New York to report to the General Assembly
(US$ 28,200);
(ii)
Travel of two OHCHR staff to accompany the Special Rapporteur to Myanmar
(US$ 8,500);
(iii)
Local transportation, interpretation and other miscellaneous services related to the
mission to Myanmar (US$ 10,000).
3.
Although provisions have not been made in the programme budget for
biennium 2006-2007 to meet the additional activities, outlined in paragraph 2 above,
it is anticipated that the resource requirements can be absorbed within the appropriations
approved for the biennium 2006-2007 under section 23, Human Rights.
