ANNEX II
Administrative and programme budget implications of resolutions
adopted by the Council at its eleventh session
11/117. 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). The requirements for translation of the reports of the
Working Group were not included in the programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009. They
have however been included in the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2010-2011.
