A/HRC/22/19 V. Conclusions and recommendations 24. Pursuant to the appeals made by the General Assembly in its resolution 66/150 and by the Board of Trustees of the Fund, as reflected in the report of the SecretaryGeneral submitted to the General Assembly (67/264), donors are invited to pay their contributions to the Fund before the thirty-eighth session of the Board (to be held in October 2013), in order to allow the Board to take them into account at that session. 25. On the basis of the requests received for 2013, it is expected that approximately $15 million will be requested by organizations for 2014. 26. In the light of the difficult financial situation faced by the Fund since 2010, the Board has also reiterated its call to regular donors to increase, as much as possible, their contributions to the Fund in order to provide it with the necessary resources to meet the growing needs of victims of torture and the members of their families worldwide. 27. The Board strongly encourages States that have not yet contributed to the Fund to do so, preferably before September 2013, to expand the donor base of the Fund. 7
