  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order further amends the Schedule to the United Nations (International Tribunal) (Former Yugoslavia) Order 1996 to reflect the decisions of the Security Council of the United Nations in resolutions 1837 (2008) and 1877 (2009). These resolutions amend the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) established by United Nations Security Council resolution 827 (1993).\nThis Order also further amends the Schedule to the United Nations (International Tribunal) (Rwanda) Order 1996 to reflect the decisions of the Security Council of the United Nations in Resolutions 1824 (2008), 1855 (2008), 1878 (2009) and 1932 (2010). These resolutions amend the Statute of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), established by United Nations Security Council resolution 955 (1994).\nThe amendments modify the composition of the Trial and Appeals Chambers of the two Tribunals and provide an alternative procedure for the appointment of ad litem judges to the Rwanda Tribunal. The purpose of the amendments is to make provision for a reduction in the number of judges as the Tribunals move towards the completion of their work.\nThis Order also amends the definition of “the 1996 Orders” in the United Nations (International Tribunals) (Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda) (Dependent Territories) Order 1997 to reflect the subsequent amendments made to those Orders.",
