A/HRC/DEC/19/119 53. The United Nations Office at Geneva also recalled that, with regard to the official distribution of documents, in its resolution 66/233, the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General to ensure that the rules concerning the simultaneous distribution of documents in all six official languages be strictly respected with regard to both the distribution of printed copies and the posting of parliamentary documentation on the Official Document System and the United Nations website, in keeping with section III, paragraph 5, of its resolution 55/222. 54. While expressing support for the efforts already made by the United Nations Office at Geneva and the Office of the High Commissioner to reduce paper consumption, the task force emphasized the need to continue to develop various electronic tools that would allow users to have access to documents relating to the Human Rights Council online. In this regard, the United Nations Office at Geneva informed the task force that it was looking into possible initiatives, such as an e-pigeonhole, a portal-like website that would host relevant documents, and rationalizing information technology applications to enhance internal efficiencies. 55. The task force, however, pointed to the need to ensure that Members and observers of the Human Rights Council wishing to receive hard copies of Council-related documentation may continue to do so. (2) Recommendations 56. All Members and observers of the Human Rights Council are encouraged to access their UNOG mailing accounts and to opt not to receive hard copies of Council-related documentation, but rather receive e-copies thereof. Members and observers may also wish to subscribe to the United Nations e-Subscription service (available from (www.undocs.org), which provides links to newly published documents as soon as they become available. 57. During regular sessions of the Human Rights Council, efforts should be made to ensure that the written statements of special procedures mandate holders, independent experts and panellists are made available on the Council extranet approximately 30 minutes before their delivery before the Council plenary. 58. Continued efforts should be made by the United Nations Office at Geneva and the Office of the High Commissioner to develop various electronic tools enabling users to have access to documents online in an increasing manner. 13
