Acting under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council established a pool of ad litem judges at the ICTY and enlarged the appeals chambers at the ICTR and ICTY. Two additional judges would also be appointed at the ICTR to deal with its increasing workload.[3] The Secretary-General Kofi Annan was requested to make preparations for the elections of the two additional judges at the ICTR and of the 27 ad litem judges at the ICTY.
