41. Although it is anticipated that an additional amount of $665,700 will be required under sections 2, 23, 28 D and 28 E of the programme budget for the biennium 2008-2009, a preliminary review leads the Secretariat to assume that some absorption of the estimated
requirements is possible. The Secretariat will seek to identify areas from which resources can be redeployed to meet the requirements in the biennium 2008-2009. At the time the General Assembly reviews the question of the revised estimates resulting from decisions taken by the Human Rights Council at its seventh session, it is anticipated that the Secretariat would be in a position to inform the General Assembly on how to meet the additional requirements.
42. 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 preparation of the proposed programme budget for the biennium 2010-2011.
43. With regard to paragraph 9, attention is also 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 62/236 of 22 December 2007, 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.
