Noting progress made to improve the procedures at  both tribunals, it also emphasised the need for both to complete trials at the earliest possible date.

Two additional judges would also be appointed at the ICTR to deal with its increasing workload. 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. All countries were urged to co-operate with both tribunals and welcomed co-operation already given. Finally, the secretary-general was asked to submit a report concerning the date ending of the temporal jurisdiction of the ICTY.
