Postponement of renewal of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on

Council resolution 16/21 of 25 March 2011 and General Assembly resolution 65/281 of
17 June 2011, in an effort to synchronize schedules for resolutions, mandates and
presentation of reports by the special procedures, decided to postpone the renewal of the
mandate of the Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an
adequate standard of living, and on the right to non-discrimination in this context to its
twenty-fifth session, and, for that reason, to extend, on an exceptional basis, the mandate of
the Special Rapporteur until that session.
[Adopted without a vote.]
