United Nations Security Council resolution 1481, adopted unanimously on 19 May 2003, after recalling resolutions 827 (1993), 1166 (1998), 1329 (2000), 1411 (2002) and 1431 (2002), the Council amended the statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to allow temporary judges to adjudicate in pre-trial proceedings in other cases before their appointment to a trial. [1]

Contents

The Security Council was convinced of the need to enhance the powers of ad litem judges at the ICTY to allow them to adjudicate in other pre-trial proceedings before their appointment to a trial, and, acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, amended the statute accordingly. [2] The change was proposed by Theodor Meron, the president of the ICTY, who added that the measure would make efficient use of temporary judges' time and incur no extra costs on the United Nations.
