Agenda Item 130 |
Joint Inspection Unit |
| |
At its twenty-first session, in 1966, the General Assembly established the Joint Inspection Unit for an initial period of four years (resolution 2150 (XXI)), and subsequently decided to continue the Unit until 31 December 1973 (resolution
2735 A (XXV)) and then for a further period of four years beyond that date (resolution 2924 B (XXVII)). At its thirty-first session, the General Assembly approved the statute of the Joint Inspection Unit as a subsidiary organ of the Assembly and of the legislative bodies of the specialized agencies that accepted the new statute (resolution 31/192). The membership of the Unit was increased from 8 to not more than 11 Inspectors, with effect from 1 January 1978. For the composition of the Unit, see item 17 (h) above.
At its fifty-ninth session, the General Assembly recognized that in order for the Unit to further improve its effectiveness and enhance its role, the provisions of the statute of the Unit should be fully implemented; urged Member States requested to proposed candidates for membership in the Unit to strictly adhere to the qualifications and experience outlined in the statute of the Joint Inspection Unit; decided to discontinue the requirement for the report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of the recommendations of the Unit (resolution 59/267).
In its decision 60/551, the General Assembly decided to defer to the resumed part of its sixtieth session the consideration of agenda item 130: Joint Inspection Unit. (decision 60/551). |
