Issuance of the reports of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review in all official languages of the United Nations 1. In paragraphs 1 to 4 of draft decision A/HRC/11/L.2 (adopted as decision 11/117), the Council decided to adopt the following decision and to submit it to the General Assembly, as a matter of priority: (a) To request the Secretary-General to issue all the reports adopted by the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review at its fourth and fifth sessions and the additional information submitted by the States under review before the adoption of the outcome by the Council, as official documents in all official languages of the United Nations prior to the holding of the twelfth session of the Council; (b) To recall that the Working Group should endeavour to apply in its reports the word limits established in the annex to President’s statement 9/2, bearing in mind that the Working Group is entrusted with the authority to decide on the adoption of reports that exceptionally exceed those word limits; (c) To decide that all reports adopted by the Working Group should be issued as official documents in all official languages of the United Nations, in a timely manner before their consideration by the Council, and to request the Secretary-General to ensure the necessary support to that effect. 2. The requirements for the translation of reports called for under the terms of the decision are estimated at $1,439,800 each for the biennium 2008-2009 and at $4,378,900 for the biennium 2010-2011, under section 2 (General Assembly and Economic and Social Council Affairs and Conference Management).
