A/HRC/13/56
Annex III
Administrative and programme budget implications of
resolutions adopted by the Council at its thirteenth session
13/4.
The right to food
1.
In paragraphs 36 and 38 of draft resolution A/HRC/13/L.17 (adopted as resolution
13/4), the Human Rights Council:
(a)
Decided to extend the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the right to food
for a period of three years, to continue to work in accordance with the mandate established
by the Council in its resolution 6/2;
(b)
Requested the Secretary-General and the United Nations High Commissioner
for Human Rights to continue to provide all necessary human and financial resources for
the effective fulfilment of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur.
2.
Should the draft resolution be adopted by the Council, $55,800 per annum or
$111,600 per biennium would be required to implement the activities.
3.
The estimated requirements of $111,600 have been included under section 23 of the
programme budget for the biennium 2010–2011. Since the period of the terms of the draft
resolution extends into the biennium 2012–2013, it is considered that the requirements for
that period will be met within the provisions to be included in the proposed programme
budget for the biennium 2012–2013. No additional appropriations would be required as a
result of the adoption of the draft resolution.
4.
With regard to paragraph 38, attention is drawn to the provisions of section VI of
General Assembly resolution 45/248 B of 21 December 1990, and subsequent resolutions,
the most recent of which is resolution 64/243 of 24 December 2009, in which the Assembly
reaffirmed that the Fifth Committee is the appropriate Main Committee of the Assembly
entrusted with responsibilities for administrative and budgetary matters and reaffirmed the
role of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions.

humanitarian and human rights laws to monitor and assess any domestic, legal or other
