ANNEX II
Estimated administrative and programme budget implications
of Council resolutions and decisions
4/2. Human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory:
follow-up to Human Rights Council resolutions S-1/1 and S-3/1
1.
Under the terms of paragraphs 1 and 2 of resolution 4/2, the Human Rights Council:
(a) Called for the implementation of its resolutions S-1/1 and S-3/1, including the
dispatching of the urgent fact-finding missions;
(b) Requested the President of the Human Rights Council and the United Nations
High Commissioner for Human Rights to report to the Council at its fifth session on their efforts
for the implementation of Council resolutions S-1/1 and S-3/1 and on the compliance of Israel,
the occupying Power, with these two resolutions;
2.
It may be recalled that at the first special session of the Human Rights Council, an oral
statement of programme budget implications was presented to it on its resolution S-1/1, which
informed the Council that while no provisions had been made in the 2006-2007 programme
budget to dispatch an urgent fact-finding mission to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, the
related travel costs, estimated at $27,300, for the mission, would be absorbed within overall
resources included in the programme budget for the biennium 2006-2007, under section 23,
Human Rights (A/61/530). With regard to the Human Rights Council resolution S-3/1, although
owing to time constraints, an estimate of the programme budget implications of the resolution
was not presented to it, the Council was informed at the time it adopted the resolution that to the
extent possible resources required to implement the decision to dispatch a high-level fact-finding
mission to Beit Hanoun and to provide all administrative, technical and logistical assistance to
the mission would be met from resources approved for the programme budget for the
biennium 2006-2007, under section 23, Human Rights. Subsequent to the third special session of
the Human Rights Council, it was estimated that $130,500 would be required to implement the
Human Rights Council, resolution S-3/1. The Secretary-General in his reports A/61/530 and
Add.1 on the revised estimates resulting from resolutions and decisions adopted by the Human
Rights Council at its first session, second and third sessions and its first through third special
sessions, in 2006 informed the General Assembly at the main part of its sixty-first session of the
aforementioned budgetary requirements.
3.
This oral statement is presented to inform the Council that the resources required to
implement its resolutions S-1/1 and S-3/1 estimated at $27,300 and $130,500, respectively,
remain unchanged. At this time, the Secretary-General, maintains his prior position, as reported
to the General Assembly at the main part of its sixty-first session that to the extent possible, the
requirements would be met from resources approved by the General Assembly under section 23,
Human Rights of the programme budget for the biennium 2006-2007.
