Substitutes
If a Representative is prevented from attending a meeting of the Assembly, he may arrange to be replaced by a Substitute of the same nationality.
He must give notice to the President, who will in turn inform the Assembly.
If a Representative is prevented from attending a Committee meeting, he may arrange to be replaced by another Representative or by a Substitute of his own nationality.
He must give notice to the Chairman of the Committee who, in turn, will inform the Committee.
A Representative who is unable to attend several Committee meetings must always be replaced by the same Representative or by the same Substitute.
Substitutes nominated in due form have the same rights as Representatives in the Assembly and in Committees.
