Agenda item 163
Election of judges of the International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since 1991
The President
Members may recall that on 2 June 1998 the Assembly decided to include this item in the agenda of the present session.
Members will also recall that in his letter of 27 August 1998 addressed to me, contained in document A/52/1023, the President of the Security Council transmitted the text of Security Council resolution 1191 (1998), adopted unanimously by the Security Council at its 3919th meeting, held on 27 August 1998, which, inter alia, forwarded to the General Assembly the nine nominations for judges of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in accordance with article 13(d) of the Statute of the International Tribunal.
As Member States were not in a position to duly consider the nine nominations in order for the General Assembly to elect the three additional judges during its fifty-second session, may I take it that it is the wish of the Assembly to defer consideration of this item and to include it in the draft agenda of the fifty-third session?
The President
This concludes our consideration of agenda item 163.
