Article 25 <*>

a. The Consultative Assembly shall consist of representatives of each Member, elected by its parliament from among the Members thereof, or appointed from among the Members of that parliament, in such manner as it shall decide, subject, however, to the right of each Member Government to make any additional appointments necessary when the parliament is not in session and has not laid down the procedure to be followed in that case.

b. No Representative shall be deprived of his position as such during a session of the Assembly without the agreement of the Assembly.
