The estimates of conference-servicing costs indicated in paragraph 17 above are based on the assumption that no part of the conference-servicing requirements would be met from within the permanent conference-servicing capacity under Section 29 (Conference Services Division, Geneva) of the programme budget, and that additional resources would be required for temporary assistance for meetings. The extent to which the Organization's permanent capacity needs to be supplemented by temporary assistance resources can only be determined in the light of the calendar of conferences for 1990-1991. However, as indicated in paragraph 29.5 of the programme budget, the 1990-1991 level of resources for temporary assistance for meetings was estimated on the basis of previous experience to accommodate not only meetings which are programmed, but also additional meetings. In other words, provision was made in the programme budget not only for meetings known at the time of budget preparation, but also for meetings that would be authorized subsequently, provided that the number and distribution of meetings and conferences in the biennium 1990-1991 is consistent with the pattern of meetings in past years. On that basis, it is estimated that no additional resources will be required under Section 29 of the programme budget for the biennium 1990-1991 as a result of the adoption of the resolution.

analysis: The text appears to be discussing the budget and logistical arrangements for a conference or meeting, likely related to international organizations or diplomacy. The focus is on estimating costs, allocating resources, and determining the need for temporary assistance. The context suggests that the conference is related to human rights, which is supported by the mention of Section 23 (Human rights) of the programme budget.
