The Fund is one of the international organizations that have a power of internal authoritative interpretation. This power is conferred on the Fund by Article XVIII and is exercised by the same organs, the Executive Directors and the Board of Governors, as exercise most of the other powers of the Fund. Although voting is avoided, if a vote had to be taken on a matter of interpretation, it would be taken in accordance with the system of weighted voting that prevails in the Fund, and a majority of the votes cast would be decisive.
