first year and $37,000 thereafter. Therefore, net additional requirements of $17,900 will arise in
the first year and $21,900 for the next year, or $39,800 for the biennium to provide for travel and
daily subsistence allowance of the five experts.
3.
Additional requirements are anticipated to arise in response to paragraph 5 of the
resolution to provide for the participation of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human
rights and fundamental freedoms of indigenous peoples, and a member of the Permanent Forum
on Indigenous Issues on the above basis, in the amount of $28,000 for the biennium.
4.
With respect to conference servicing, provision was made under section 2,
General Assembly and Economic and Social Council affairs and conference management, to
provide conference services to the Working Group on Indigenous Populations, which has been
maintained in the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009. Since the new
expert mechanism will replace the Working Group on Indigenous Populations, its conference
servicing will be met by the former Working Group’s entitlements.
5.
Therefore, it is estimated that, pursuant to the resolution adopted by the Council,
total additional cost for travel and daily subsistence allowance for five experts and two
representatives in the amount of $67,800 per biennium will arise.
6.
Although it is anticipated that an additional amount of $67,800 will be required for
the biennium 2008-2009 under Section 23, to meet the requirements outlined in paragraph 5
above, no additional resources will be requested at this juncture in light of the continuing review
by the Council of its subsidiary machinery in response to General Assembly resolution 60/251.
The consolidated statement of requirements arising from the continuing review by the Council
and potential absorptive capacity from reduced requirements arising from the amended
programme of work under the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009 will be
reported to the General Assembly. The General Assembly will also be informed at that time of
the continuing requirements beyond the biennium 2008-2009 relating to decisions taken by the
Council.
