REVIEW OF ARTICLE 74 OF THE GENERAL STANDARDS TO GOVERN THE OPERATIONS OF THE GENERAL SECRETARIAT

(Resolution adopted at the seventh plenary session, held on June 5, 1997)

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,

HAVING SEEN resolution CP/RES. 703 (1122/97), "Amendments to the General Standards to Govern the Operations of the General Secretariat"; and

CONSIDERING:

That, during the process of amending the General Standards referred to in resolution CP/RES. 703 (1122/97), it was deemed necessary to determine whether to maintain the contributions to the Regular Fund for technical supervision and administrative support, as established in Article 74 of the General Standards, and, if so, to decide on an appropriate amount and method for the calculation thereof; and

That any decision in this regard requires the preparation of a technical study containing all necessary information to enable the political bodies to reach the conclusion that best reflects the interests of the Organization,

RESOLVES:

1. To request the Permanent Council to define, through the Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Affairs, the contents of the study on contributions to the Regular Fund for technical supervision and administrative support.

2. To instruct the General Secretariat to conduct such a study and submit it to the Permanent Council.

3. To entrust the Permanent Council, on the basis of that study and the opinions of member states, with an analysis of the budgetary and program implications of the possible changes proposed.

4. To empower the Permanent Council to amend Article 74 of the General Standards if it concludes that such action is needed, and, if so, to authorize it to introduce any necessary adjustments in the Organization's program-budget for 1998.
