A/51/542 English Page 13 60. In conclusion, the Special Rapporteur wishes to make it absolutely clear that the resources at his disposal are inadequate for the effective accomplishment of his mandate. At the moment, there is in fact no correlation between what is at stake and the resources available. However legitimate the concerns of the United Nations to cut costs, the Special Rapporteur notes that the drastic limitations on the number of pages in his reports and on his in situ visits, as well as on the human and material assistance available to him, are truly detrimental to his mandate. The Special Rapporteur strongly insists that the resources assigned to his mandate should be increased, and he is quite prepared to accept financial contributions from States, non-governmental organizations and individuals within the framework of a voluntary fund for the mandate on religious intolerance managed in accordance with United Nations rules by the administration of the Centre for Human Rights, along the lines of the fund set up recently for the mandate on the question of violence against women.
