Resúmen
Reaffirms the practice that, in the use of conference rooms, priority must be given to the meetings of Member States; strongly discourages any invitation to host meetings that would violate the headquarters rule at the UN Office at Nairobi and at other UN centres with low utilization levels; also reaffirms that the major goals of the reform of the Department for General Assembly and Conference Management of the Secretariat are to provide high-quality documents in a timely manner in all official languages, as well as high-quality conference services to Member States at all duty stations, and to achieve those aims as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible, in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the General Assembly; welcomes the efforts of the interdepartmental task force on documentation in addressing the problem of late issuance of documentation, and requests the Secretary-General to develop a clear accountability mechanism within the Secretariat for the submission, processing and issuance of documentation and to submit a detailed report thereon to the Committee on Conferences for its further consideration and analysis, in order to provide concrete recommendations to the General Assembly at its 61st session; reiterates its request to the Secretary-General to make sure that terminology used in translation and interpretation services reflects the latest linguistic norms and terminology of the official languages in order to ensure the highest quality; expresses deep concern at the high vacancy rates in the interpretation and translation services at the UN Office at Nairobi, especially the chronic difficulty in staffing the Arabic Interpretation Unit, and requests the Secretary-General to address this through, inter alia, assistance from Member States in advertising and facilitating the conduct of competitive examinations to fill these language vacancies; requests the Secretary-General to ensure the compatibility of technologies used in all duty stations and to ensure that they are user-friendly in all official languages; also requests the Secretary-General to complete the task of uploading all important older UN documents onto the UN website in all 6 official languages on a priority basis, so that these archives are also available to Member States through that medium.
