The International Court of Justice is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. It is composed of 15 judges, elected by the General Assembly and the Security Council. The Court has a twofold role: first, to settle, in accordance with international law, through judgments which have binding force and are without appeal for the parties concerned, legal disputes submitted to it by States; and, second, to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by duly authorized United Nations organs and specialized agencies. The Court is the only principal organ of the United Nations not serviced by the Secretariat and has its own Registry, which provides judicial support to the Court and acts as a permanent administrative organ. The Registry is headed by a Registrar, elected by the Court. The Registry of the International Court of Justice is seeking to create a roster of suitable candidates to serve, on a temporary basis, as Executive Assistant to Judges, in particular to temporarily replace, sometimes at short notice, staff members on different types of leave, such as parental leave or sick leave. Executive Assistants report directly to a Member of the Court. For administrative purposes, their work is also subject to the supervision of the Co-ordinator of Judges' Executive Assistants and the overall guidance of the Deputy Registrar.
