Underlines the importance it attaches to the Tribunals being able to function effectively throughout their completion phases; acknowledges that the retention of personnel in key positions of the Tribunals is critical to enable the Tribunals to fulfil the completion strategy; notes with concern that there may be difficulties in retaining and recruiting key staff as the Tribunals complete their mandates; recognizes that the payment of a retention incentive is not provided for by the UN common system and could have implications for the common system, and therefore requests the ICSC to advise it on the proposal; requests the Secretary-General to submit a report to it no later than the 1st part of its resumed 62nd on updated human resources data, drawdown plans for each Tribunal, non-monetary incentives and measures, clear justification for the possible payment of a retention incentive, all legal aspects related to the implementation of a staff retention scheme, alternative approaches to the calculation of the amount of a retention incentive, including focusing the proposals on core positions, required years of service, possible cap mechanisms and the timing of their payment, as well as the conditions attached to such retention schemes.
