development issues), subprogramme 5.2, of the programme budget for the biennium 1988-1989 for one report on new developments concerning the situation of women living under apartheid to be submitted to the Commission at its thirty-fourth session in 1990. The Secretary-General assumes that the request contained in the draft resolution would be to advance his submission of that report to the Commission at its thirty-third session, in 1989, rather than adding a new output. Although the request would be for a comprehensive report, it is understood that the report should cover all aspects of the matter. The Secretary-General believes that the previous reports, including the one in document E/CN.6/1988/2 submitted to the Commission at its thirty-second session, adequately cover all aspects of the situation until 30 September 1987. Accordingly, the new report to be submitted to the Commission at its next session will need to cover only new developments since that date. The relevant staff resources of the Branch for the Advancement of Women of the Centre for Social Development and Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations Office at Vienna have already been allocated to other work during 1988, especially for the preparation of reports on the priority themes of the Commission's thirty-third session, and will be available on a full-time basis for preparation of the updated report after completing the other assignments already programmed. The report will therefore be compiled on the basis of information obtained from other United Nations reports, with the collaboration of other relevant United Nations Secretariat units, such as the Centre against ~rtheid of the Department of Political and Security Council Affairs. -123-C. Potential for absorption 16. On the basis of the foregoing, the report that the Council would request for submission to the Commission at its thirty-third session would be prepared within the resources available for the biennium 1988-1989.
