establishing an Independent Oversight Mechanism (IOM). On 12 April 2010, a Temporary Head of the IOM (female) was
appointed at a P5 level on secondment from the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS ) for a one-year period from July
2010 until July 2011. The position is currently vacant and under recruitment. Given the difficulties in filling the position, a new
Temporary Head (female) has been seconded from the OIOS. As decided by the Assembly of States Parties during its ninth session
held in New York in December 2010, the post of Head of the IOM is now a P4 grade instead of a P5.
