The Secretariat The Secretariat is UN's administrative arm, comprised of civil servants responsible for carrying out the day-to-day operations of the organization.
Led by the Secretary-General , the Secretariat collects and analyzes data, conducts research on a wide range of economic and social issues, maintains the facilities used by other UN organs, provides interpreter services, and translates documents into the UN's official languages.
The Secretary-General is appointed by the General Assembly on the recommendation of the Security Council for a 5-year, renewable term. In addition to mediating international disputes and coordinating peacekeeping activities, the Secretary-General serves as the public face of the UN and acts as the principal spokesperson for its policy initiatives. The Court adjudicates interstate disputes in contentious cases in accordance with international law and issues advisory opinions on questions of law referred to it by authorized UN organs.
The Court is comprised of 15 judges elected by both the General Assembly and the Security Council to serve nine-year terms. No two judges from the same jurisdiction may serve simultaneously. Seats are informally apportioned geographically to ensure that judges from all of the world's main legal systems are represented on the Court.
These included former colonies previously administered under mandates issued by the League of Nations, as well as territories seized from nations that were defeated in World War II. The Council suspended its operations in when Palau, the last remaining trust territory, gained its independence. Should the need arise, the Council may resume operations at the request of the majority of its members, the members of the General Assembly or the members of the Security Council.
