A/HRC/4/123 page 61 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.
