Chapter 15. The Secretariat
Article 97
The Secretariat shall comprise a Secretary-General and such staff as the
Organization may require. The Secretary-General shall be appointed by the
General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. He shall be
the chief administrative officer of the Organization.
Article 98
The Secretary-General shall act in that capacity in all meetings of the
General Assembly, of the Security Council, of the Economic and Social Council,
and of the Trusteeship Council, and shall perform such other functions as are
entrusted to him by these organs. The Secretary-General shall make an annual
report to the General Assembly on the work of the Organization.
Article 99
The Secretary-General may bring to the attention of the Security Council
any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international
peace and security.
Article 100
1. In the performance of their duties the Secretary-General and the staff
shall not seek or receive instructions from any government or from any other
authority external to the Organization. They shall refrain from any action
which might reflect on their position as international officials responsible
only to the Organization.
2. Each Member of the United Nations undertakes to respect the
exclusively international character of the responsibilities of the
Secretary-General and the staff and not to seek to influence them in the
discharge of their responsibilities.
Article 101
1. The staff shall be appointed by the Secretary-General under
regulations established by the General Assembly.
2. Appropriate staffs shall be permanently assigned to the Economic and
Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, and, as required, to other organs
of the United Nations. These staffs shall form a part of the Secretariat.
3. The paramount consideration in the employment of the staff and in the
determination of the conditions of service shall be the necessity of securing
the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity. Due regard
shall be paid to the importance of recruiting the staff on as wide a
geographical basis as possible.
