Missing persons 43. In draft decision A/HRC/9/L.5 (adopted as decision 9/101), the Council requested the Advisory Committee to prepare a study on the best practices in the matter of missing persons and to submit that study to the Council at its twelfth session. 44. An estimated amount of $92,300 would be required to provide for general temporary assistance at the P-4 level for six months for research related to the activities called for by the Council in its decision. 45. The $92,300 required to implement the activities have not been included under section 23 of the programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009.

When the General Assembly reviews the question of the revised estimates resulting from decisions taken by the Council at its ninth session, it is anticipated that the Secretariat will be in a position to inform the Assembly on how the additional requirements could be met.
