A/HRC/18/47 during the reporting period, preparation sessions were held for delegations to sessions of the Committee against Torture and the Committee on the Rights of the Child. The Government’s decision to send delegations from the capital to these treaty body sessions, after a hiatus, is to be welcomed. In May 2010, the Government received the confidential report of the December 2009 visit by the Sub-Committee on Prevention of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. At the Government’s request, OHCHR translated the Subcommittee’s report into Khmer and discussed possibilities for implementation, including the establishment of an NPM. 60. The reporting period saw significant developments in the Government’s follow-up to the 91 universal periodic review recommendations accepted by Cambodia in December 2009. OHCHR, together with the Embassy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and the European Union, supported the CHRC to develop a series of steps towards a national action plan for the implementation of the universal periodic review recommendations and those of the recent treaty body reviews. In September 2010, the follow-up process under the universal periodic review was introduced and explained to all relevant ministries, following which the Government allocated responsibility for groups of recommendations among the various ministries. OHCHR brought an expert from Indonesia in April 2011 to share experiences on structures to ensure the implementation of the recommendations of the universal periodic review, and a national universal periodic review workshop with all stakeholders is planned for July 2011. VIII. Staffing and administration 61. OHCHR maintains a head office in Phnom Penh and a regional branch in Battambang. The office maintained 8 international staff positions (and 1 international United Nations Volunteer) during the reporting period, and increased the number of national posts to 27, with the additional recruitment of 3 national professional officer positions. 62. The United Nations regular budget covers the office’s operational expenses, including the salaries of 7 international and 20 national staff members. Voluntary contributions to the United Nations Trust Fund for a Human Rights Education Programme in Cambodia cover all other expenditures, including substantive programme activities and the remaining salaries of staff members. 16
