The statute of the International Tribunal does not provide for the extension of the terms of office of the ad litem judges.  In the absence of such a provision, the approval of the Security Council, as the parent organ of the International Tribunal, and of the General Assembly, as the organ that elects its judges, is necessary.
La prorogation du mandat des juges ad litem n'étant pas prévue dans le Statut du Tribunal, la décision revient au Conseil de sécurité, organe de tutelle du Tribunal, et à l'Assemblée générale, l'organe qui élit ses juges.
