The Commission also decided, without a vote, to request the Secretary-General to give the Special Rapporteur all the assistance necessary to enable him to continue and conclude his study, in particular by providing for specialized research assistance and for the necessary visits to Geneva for consultation with the Centre for Human Rights, and the resources necessary for a field mission to examine in situ the contemporary significance of a historic treaty in one country, to be determined in consultation with the Government concerned, as a practical example for inclusion in the final report.
