- 9 - 2. Requests the Committee to give careful consideration to the possible means by which it might contribute to the implementation of the Copenhagen Declaration on Social Development and Programme of Action of the World Summit for Social Development, having particular regard to the commitments contained in the latter concerning the adoption of national strategies for social development and the definition of time-bound goals and targets for reducing overall poverty. DRAFT DECISION I Payment of honoraria to members of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights The Economic and Social Council, noting that members of the Human Rights Committee, as well as of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the Committee on the Rights of the Child, all receive a modest honorarium for their services, and that as a result of measures approved by the General Assembly members of two of the remaining three human rights treaty bodies will also do so, and recognizing that it is inequitable for the one remaining Committee to be treated differently in this respect, urges the General Assembly to authorize payment to each member of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of an honorarium equivalent to that payable to the members of other relevant treaty bodies. DRAFT DECISION II Resources to enable the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights to obtain access to specialized expertise in its work The Economic and Social Council endorses the proposal made by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights that an amount of 10,000 dollars annually be included within the overall budget of the Centre for Human Rights, to enable the Committee to bring in specialists to participate in its days of general discussion and to commission papers dealing with those technical dimensions of its work, especially relating to indicators, which require expert elaboration. The Council notes that this accords with the recommendation of the World Conference on Human Rights in relation to indicators and that the relevant funds would not be spent on members of the Committee and would be committed only with the approval of the head of the Centre for Human Rights.
