ARTICLE 54
Vacancies
1. If a State ceases, at a time when the Conference is meeting in ordinary
session, to occupy one of the seats on the Governing Body reserved for the 18
States selected by the Government electoral college, the Government electoral
college shall meet during the course of the session to appoint, in accordance
with the procedure laid down in this section, another State to take its place.
2. If a State ceases, during an interval between sessions of the Conference,
to occupy one of the seats on the Governing Body reserved for the 18 States
selected by the Government electoral college, the Government group of the
Governing Body shall proceed to replace it. The appointment thus made must be
confirmed by the Government electoral college and communicated by it to the
Conference. If such an appointment is not confirmed by the electoral college
in question, a new election shall immediately be held in accordance with the
relevant provisions of this section.
3. If a vacancy occurs, at any time whatsoever, owing to the decease or
resignation of a Government representative, but the State concerned retains
its seat on the Governing Body, the seat in question shall be occupied by the
person whom the Government appoints to replace that representative.
4. If a vacancy occurs among the Employer or Worker members of the Governing
Body at a time when the Conference is meeting in ordinary session, the
electoral college concerned shall assemble during the course of the session to
fill the vacancy, in accordance with the procedure laid down in this section.
5. If a vacancy occurs among the Employer or Worker members of the Governing
Body during an interval between sessions of the Conference, the Governing Body
group concerned shall proceed freely to fill the vacancy, without being
required to appoint the new member from among the deputy members of the
Governing Body. The appointment thus made must be confirmed by the electoral
college concerned at the next session of the Conference and communicated by it
to the Conference. If such an appointment is not confirmed by the electoral
college in question, a new election shall immediately be held in accordance
with the provisions of this section.
