27. 他介绍咨询委员会关于专题群组三项下联合国利比亚支助团费用估计数的报告(A/72/7/Add.18)时说，咨询委员会建议核准联利支助团的人员配置提议，但政治事务部的高级政治事务干事(P-5)的职位除外。作为一项通盘政策，应该审查空缺两年或更长时间的员额是否继续需要，而保留这些员额须说明理由；因此，咨询委员会建议裁撤 3 个职位。鉴于联利支助团已开始在利比亚轮流驻扎并最终迁入利比亚的进程，秘书长应进一步努力使特派团的职位本国化，在特派团中加强补充本国工作人员的工作。
27. Introducing the Advisory Committee’s report on estimates under cluster III for the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (A/72/7/Add.18), he said that the Advisory Committee recommended that the staffing proposals for UNSMIL should be approved, with the exception of the position of Senior Political Affairs Officer (P-5) in the Department of Political Affairs. As a matter of overall policy, the continuing requirement for posts that had been vacant for two years or longer should be reviewed and their retention justified; accordingly, the Advisory Committee recommended the abolishment of three positions. The Secretary-General should undertake further efforts to strengthen the Mission’s national staffing complement by nationalizing positions once the Mission had begun the process of establishing its rotational presence in and final relocation to Libya.
