Under the terms of operative paragraphs 6, 7 and 9 of draft resolution A/HRC/S-2/L.1, the Human Rights Council would: (a) Dispatch, urgently, a high-level commission of inquiry comprising relevant human rights special procedures and experts of international humanitarian law to: (i) Investigate the systematic targeting and killing by Israel of civilians in Lebanon; (ii) Examine the types of weapons used by Israel and their conformity with international law; and (iii) Assess the extent and deadly impact of Israeli attacks on human life, property, critical infrastructure and environment. (b) Request the Secretary-General and the High Commissioner for Human Rights to provide all administrative, technical and logistical assistance required to enable the Commission to fulfil its mandate promptly and efficiently; (c) Request the Commission to report on progress towards the fulfilment of its mandate no later than 1 September 2006. 2. Should the draft resolution be adopted by the Human Rights Council, total full costs of the activities envisaged would amount to US$ 417,800 under section 23, Human rights, in the biennium 2006-2007. 3. It will be recalled that under the procedures established by the General Assembly in its resolutions 41/213 and 42/211, 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.
