6/2. Mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the right to food
1.
Council:
Under the terms of paragraphs 2, 4 and 7 of resolution 6/2, the Human Rights
(a) Decided to extend the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the right to food for a
period of three years;
(b) Requested the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to provide all
necessary human and financial resources for the effective fulfilment of the mandate of the
Special Rapporteur;
(c) Requested the Special Rapporteur to submit a report on the implementation of the
resolution to the General Assembly at its sixty-third session and to the Council in 2008, in
accordance with its annual programme of work.
2.
It is estimated that, pursuant to the resolution adopted by the Council, a total amount
of US$52,000 per year will be required to implement the activities called for in paragraphs 2
and 7, as follows:
(a) Travel of the Special Rapporteur to attend the annual meeting of special procedures
and to present a report to the Council, for two field missions per year and one trip to New York
each year to present a report to the General Assembly ($35,000);
(b)
Travel of staff to accompany the Special Rapporteur during field missions ($9,800);
(c) Local transportation, security, communication and other miscellaneous expenses
during field missions ($7,200).
3.
The requirements to implement the activities for the mandate of the Special
Rapporteur have already been included under section 23, Human rights, of the programme
budget for the biennium 2006-2007 and the proposed programme budget for the biennium
2008-2009. Since the period for renewal of the mandate extends into the biennium 2010-2011
the requirements for that period will be considered in the context of the proposed programme
budget for the biennium 2010-2011. No additional appropriations will be required as a result of
the adoption of the resolution.
4.
With regard to paragraph 4, attention was drawn to the provisions of section VI of
General Assembly resolution 45/248 B of 21 December 1990, in which the Assembly reaffirmed
that the Fifth Committee was 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.
