CM/Res. 60 (IV)
PERMANENT OFFICES OF THE GENERAL SECRETARIAT
The Council of Ministers meeting in its Fourth Ordinary Session in Nairobi (Kenya), from 26 February to 9 March 1965,
Recognizing the need for the Headquarters of the Secretariat of the Organization to have adequately established permanent office accommodation which reflects the importance and dignity of the organization,
Considering the substantial financial provision in the Budget of the Organization for 1965/1966 in respect of rent for office accommodation, and realizing that the cost of such rented accommodation is likely to constitute a heavy item of recurrent expenditure on the Organization,
Considering also that for reasons of economy and practical convenience, it is desirable for the Organization to build its own permanent offices to accommodate its staff and services,
REQUESTS the General Secretariat to:
initiate the necessary enquiries and studies into the feasibility and costs of such a project;
enter into discussions and consultations with the Government of the host country about the possibility of acquiring the necessary land and other facilities;
circulate its report to the Member States at least one month before the next Ordinary Session of the Council of Ministers.
