Executive Committee and
Senior Management
Two out of three members of the ICC
Presidency are male judges. 194
The Executive Committee of the OTP is
comprised of one woman and three men. The
three Head of Division posts within the OTP are
occupied by two men (Head Investigations and
Head of the Jurisdiction, Complementarity and
Cooperation Division), and a woman (Deputy
Prosecutor, Prosecutions). The position of Deputy
Prosecutor (Head of Investigations) has been
vacant since 2007. However, a Head of Division
has been appointed during this period, although
not at a Deputy Prosecutor level. The position
of Head of Jurisdiction, Complementarity and
Cooperation, vacant since 31 May 2010, was
filled by the new Head in February 2011.
The Registrar is the only female head of an
organ at the ICC. 195
Among the non-judicial staff within the
Judiciary, two of the three Heads of Sections or
equivalent posts (P5) are held by men (both from
the WEOG region) and one P5 post is held by a
woman (Africa region).
In the OTP, of the 19 positions as Heads of
Sections or equivalent posts, one is vacant (5.2%).
More than three times more Sections are led
by men than women (respectively 14 [79%]
and four [21%]). This figure represents an 11%
decrease in the number of Heads of Sections or
equivalent posts held by women in 2010 when
women occupied six management posts (32%).
Out of 22 Heads of Sections or equivalent posts
in the Registry, one is vacant (4.5%). There has
been a slight increase in the Heads of Section or
equivalent posts held by women in the Registry
from 47% in 2010 to 48% in 2011. For the past
four years, the gender balance has been stable
with a 2-3% fluctuation in the gender statistics
for Heads of Sections.
The two Head of Division posts in the Registry
are held by men. There has never been a female
appointed as a Head of Division within the
Registry. In 2010, a woman was appointed to a
D1 position for the first time. 196
194 The members of the ICC Presidency are President Judge
