Provisions have not been made under sections 2, 23 and 28E of the programme budget for
the biennium 2006-2007 for the activities envisaged under operative paragraphs 6, 7 and 9.
Should the relevant draft resolution be adopted, additional resources of $366,300 would be
required as reflected in paragraph 2 above.
4.
The Secretariat has sought to identify areas from which resources can be redeployed to
meet the requirements arising from resolution 4/8. It is anticipated that the additional
requirements can be accommodated to the extent possible within the resources already
appropriated under the programme budget for the biennium 2006-2007. However, any additional
expenditures that should arise in the implementation of the resolution would be reported in the
context of the second performance report on the programme budget for the biennium 2006-2007.
4/4. The right to development
1.
Under the terms of paragraph 2 (e), (f) and (g) of resolution 4/4, the Human Rights Council
decided:
(a) To renew the mandate of the Working Group on the Right to Development for a
period of two years, and that the Working Group shall convene annual sessions of five working
days and present its reports to the Council;
(b) To renew also the mandate of the high level task force on the implementation of the
right to development established within the framework of the Working Group on the Right to
Development, for a period of two years, and that the task force would convene annual sessions
of seven working days and present its reports to the Working Group on the Right to
Development;
(c) To request the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to continue to
take all necessary measures and allocate necessary resources for the effective implementation of
the present resolution.
2.
The adoption of the resolution by the Human Rights Council and the expected adoption by
the General Assembly give rise to additional requirements because of the two additional working
days of the sessions of the high-level task force each year. The additional costs would relate to
(a) daily subsistence allowance for the members and (b) conference services to be provided to
the high-level task force. The amount for the activity is estimated at $74,300 for the proposed
programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009, as follows:
Section 2, General Assembly and Economic and Social Council
affairs and conference management
Section 23, Human rights
Section 28E, Administration, Geneva
