Resolution

Observations

In Resolution 1966 (2010), the Security Council had established a mechanism whereby it expected the ICTY to complete its work by December 31, 2014. The Council recalled Resolution 1931 (2010) which expressed the intention to renew the terms of judges. There was also concern at staffing levels at the ICTY and the implications on the work of the tribunal.

Acts

Under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council extended the terms of the following permanent judges until December 31, 2012 or until the completion of their cases:

The terms of the following temporary ad litem judges were extended until December 31, 2012 or until the completion of their cases:

The resolution reiterated the importance of co-operation of all states with the ICTY and of the trial of all persons indicted, particularly calling for the arrest of Goran Hadžić.^[2] Adequate levels of staffing were also important at the ICTY in order for it to complete its work and the issue had to be addressed.^[3]

Finally, the Council praised states that had concluded agreements with the enforcement of sentences of persons convicted by the ICTY to serve their sentences in their territories, and urged countries that had not concluded agreements to do so.
