30. 大会第 70/248 号决议要求全面说明在 2016-2017两年期以后保留酌处机制的理由。令人遗憾的是秘书长的报告(A/72/497)中没有提供这方面的理由。根据这份报告，秘书长关于在 2018-2019 两年期继续使用酌处机制的建议将取决于大会关于秘书长管理改革建议的决定。咨询委员会的有关建议载于其关于秘书长拟议管理改革的报告(A/72/7/Add.24)第 67和 68 段。
30. The General Assembly, in its resolution 70/248, had requested a comprehensive justification for the retention of the discretionary mechanism beyond 2016–2017. It was regrettable that no such justification had been provided in the Secretary-General’s report (A/72/497). According to the report, the Secretary-General’s proposal regarding the continuation of the discretionary mechanism for the biennium 2018–2019 would be subject to the Assembly’s decision on his management reform proposals. The related recommendations of the Advisory Committee were contained in paragraphs 67 and 68 of its report on the proposed management reforms of the Secretary-General (A/72/7/Add.24).
