Commission on Human Rights should be spaced at greater intervals, with a view to allowing delegations a longer period for reflection. In that connection, his delegation would appreciate a statement from the representative of the Secretary-General of any possible financial savings, and if there were none, an explanation of why not. 19.

In other parts of the budget, such assumptions had been made in advance of expected decisions by the General Assembly. An indication of the probable cost of some of the non-recurrent items indicated in section 23 would have been useful. 20.

His delegation hoped, therefore, that the Liaison Office's former status could be restored through redeployment.
