Report of the Joint Inspection Unit for 2009 and programme of work for 2010 : resolution / adopted by the General Assembly

Affirms that oversight is a shared responsibility of Member States, the organizations and the internal and external oversight bodies; reiterates its request to the Unit, in line with its mandate, to continue to focus its work and reports on system-wide issues of interest and relevance to the participating organizations and the States Members of the UN and to provide advice on ways to ensure the avoidance of duplication and overlap and more efficient and effective use of resources in implementing the mandates of the Organization; stresses the need for the Unit to continuously update and improve its medium- and long-term strategy for 2010-2019, taking into account the dynamics and challenges of the environment in which it undertakes its activities; notes with concern that some Member States did not abide by its resolutions on the issuance of visas for the official travel of some inspectors and staff of the Unit, and in this regard requests Member States to extend, without conditions, the requisite facilitation to enable the individual inspectors and the staff of the Unit to undertake their tasks
