Procedure for the Election of a Successor to Mr. Hughes 12
During the Assembly’s session of the present year the Assembly and Council are called
upon :
(а) To proceed to a general election of all the members of the Court for the nine
years commencing January 1st, 1931 ;
(б) To consider the question of electing, for the period down to December 31st,
1930, a successor to the Honourable Charles Evans Hughes, Judge of the Court, whose
resignation was accepted by the Council on May 12th last, subject to the concurrence of
the Assembly.
In execution of Articles 4, 5 and 7 of the Statute of the Court, the Secretary-General
has duly invited the national groups mentioned in Article 4 of the Statute to make nominations
with a view to the general election of all the members of the Court.
In accordance with the Council’s decision of May 12th, 1930, he has further invited the
national groups to make nominations with a view to the election of a successor to Mr. Hughes.
In both cases, the national groups were invited to communicate their nominations to
the Secretary-General before August 1st. So soon as possible after that date, the lists of the
persons nominated down to that date will be communicated to the Members of the League.
The final lists, including, in accordance with precedent, nominations received after August 1st,
will be circulated to the Assembly and Council at the opening of the Assembly’s session.
