Since the establishment of the Human Rights Council, the Division of Conference Management has provided the following documentation services for the Council: a total of 3,469 original pages processed in 2006;1 7,921 pages processed in 2007; and 5,140 pages processed (through 30 June) in 2008. Summary records for all plenary and organizational meetings of the Council were provided in 2006 and 2007. In order to release some capacity to compensate the lack of funding provided for the universal periodic review documents, it was informally agreed that summary record coverage for meetings of the Council and its subsidiary bodies not be provided in 2008. For 12 weeks of meetings, this measure saved the equivalent of 2,700 pages and 180 days of translator time. The meetings were recorded and, if resources become available, these summary records will be produced retroactively, though with a considerable delay. C. Universal periodic review activities 6.

This working group met, as envisioned, in 2007. Pursuant to resolution 5/1 of 18 June 2007 on institution-building of the Human Rights Council, the entitlement of the working group was extended from two weeks to three sessions of two weeks each. The same resolution made provision for the documentation related to the universal periodic review. These entitlements were approved by General Assembly resolution 62/219 of 22 December 2007. 1. Assessment of documentation 7. The universal periodic review working group has held two sessions in 2008, from 7 to 18 April and from 5 to 16 May. As outlined in Council resolution 5/1, for each State under review three pre-session documents (limited to a combined total of 40 pages) and a report on the 1 As well, 5,868 original pages were submitted in 2006 for the former Commission on Human Rights.
