VIII. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED ON THE REPORTS OF THE FIFTH COMMITTEE
790. Programme of conferences at Headquarters and Geneva

The General Assembly, Having noted the recommendations [1] of the Administrative Committee on Co-ordination in its thirteenth report to the Economic and Social Council to the effect that the regular four-year pattern of conferences approved[2] by the General Assembly at its seventh session can only fulfil its purpose if it is strictly adhered to by all the organs concerned, Noting also the opinion [3] of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions in its fifth report to the eighth session of the General Assembly to the effect that the Advisory Committee regards the programme as firmly fixed for the period 1954 to 1957 and that any variations will presumably be authorized only by a special decision of the General Assembly,

1. Endorses the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions;

2. Reaffirms its recommendation that all organs of the United Nations arrange their meetings in accordance with the dates and places set forth in the pattern presented by the Secretary-General and that the specialized agencies concerned be invited to give due consideration to this pattern in drawing up their own programmes of meetings.
