United Nations Security Council Resolution 99

United Nations Security Council Resolution 99 was adopted on 12 August 1953. Noting that International Court of Justice Judge Sergei Golunsky had submitted his resignation due to ill health and that a vacancy would exist on the Court, the Council resolved that an election to fill the vacancy would take place during the eighth session of the General Assembly.

The President of the Council announced that in the absence of any objection, the resolution was adopted unanimously.

Feodor Ivanovich Kozhevnikov of the USSR was elected to the vacancy on 27 November 1953.
