A/HRC/2/9 page 65 ANNEX II Administrative and programme budget implications of decision 2/109 on Effects of economic reform policies and foreign debt on the full enjoyment of all human rights 1. Under the terms of draft decision A/HRC/2/L.17, the Human Rights Council would decide to request the High Commissioner for Human Rights to convene an Expert Consultation to discuss the proposed draft general guidelines and to invite the international financial institutions, notably the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, as well as regional development banks, relevant United Nations agencies and national experts and stakeholders to contribute to the consultations. 2. Should the draft decision be adopted by the Human Rights Council, total full costs of conference servicing for a three-day expert consultation in Geneva, travel, and daily subsistence allowance for seven experts and related consultancy would amount to US$ 151,000 in the 2006-2007 biennium as follows: Section 2, General Assembly and Economic and Social Council affairs and conference management Section 23 Human Rights (travel, daily subsistence allowance and consultancy requirements) Section 28E, Administration Geneva (conference servicing costs) Total United States dollars 80 700 68 500 1 800 151 000 3. Provisions have not been included in the programme budget for the 2006-2007 biennium under the above-mentioned sections to implement the activities in response to the decision. Additional resources will therefore be required. 4. It will be recalled that under the procedures established by the General Assembly in its resolutions 41/213 of 19 December 1986 and 42/211 of 21 December 1987, a contingency fund is established for each biennium to accommodate additional expenditures derived from legislative mandates not provided for in the programme budget. Under this procedure, if additional expenditures are proposed that exceed the resources available from the contingency fund, the activities concerned can be implemented only through the redeployment of resources from low-priority areas or the modification of existing activities. Otherwise, such additional activities must be deferred to a later biennium. 5. The additional provisions cannot be met from the contingency fund as other activities in the 2006-2007 biennium charged against the fund will have exhausted the fund during the main part of the sixty-first session of the General Assembly. It is not possible at this stage to identify activities under sections 2, General Assembly and Economic and Social Council affairs and conference management, section 23, Human Rights, and section 28E, Administration, Geneva, of
