33 Figures as of 31 July 2011. Information provided by the Human Resources Section of the ICC.
34 As of 31 July, the Court had field offices in four out of the six Situations under investigation (CAR, DRC, Chad for Darfur, Uganda)
and a Registry task-force in Kenya. This number will be reduced once the closing down of the two field offices in Chad is completed
in December 2011. (See Proposed Programme Budget for 2012 of the International Criminal Court, ICC-ASP/10/10, 21 July 2011,
p 73). Out of 86 posts in the field offices, 21 (24%) are professional positions with 15 (71%) of these posts occupied by male
professionals. More than three times the number of men than women are appointed to field positions at both the professional
and general levels. During 2011, there was a significant decrease of 15 staff (professional and general) from the field offices
predominantly from the DRC field office (decrease of eight from 2010) and the Chad field office (decrease of six from 2010).
35 As in 2010, the field office with the highest gender differential is Chad with 72% more men than women appointed, followed
by CAR and the DRC both with a 66% male/female differential, and Uganda with 39%. There are three male staff members
comprising the Registry task-force in Kenya.
36 The total number of staff is reported in brackets.
37 Despite a decrease in the field offices of 12 staff members from Field Operations Section since 2010, this Section continues
to have the highest number of staff in the field offices at 25 staff (29% of overall field staff). The Field Operations Section has
a presence in all country-based offices including the Registry task-force in Kenya. The Victims and Witnesses Unit has 24 staff
members (28%) across the four field offices but does not have a presence in the Registry task-force in Kenya. The Outreach Unit
has 13 staff members (15%) across three field offices (CAR, DRC and Uganda). This is the same figure as in 2010. The only Sections/
Units which are represented in each of the four offices and the Registry task-force in Kenya are the Field Operations Section (with
25 staff) and the Security and Safety Section (with eight staff). Following the redeployment of its representative in the DRC, this
year the Trust Fund for Victims is represented by P-level staff only in Uganda (two Regional Programme Officers – one for the DRC
and CAR Situations, and one for Uganda and Kenya Situations). The Fund is represented by two GTA Field Assistants (general staff)
in the Bunia forward field presence in the DRC. The male/female differential is high across almost all Sections/Units represented
in the field offices with 100% male employees in the Service Desk, Security and Safety, Investigation Teams, and the Planning and
Operations Section. The Trust Fund for Victims has the strongest gender balance in the field offices with one male professional
and one female professional, followed by the Outreach Unit with 54% male and 46% female employees and the VWU with 66%
male and 34% female appointees.
38 Total number of staff per Section/Unit is reported in brackets.
