ICC Registrar elections

2018: Election for one ICC registrar

1 new registrar  |  5-year term  |  Elected by ICC Judges in 2018

The Registry is the largest organ of the ICC and indispensable to the workings of other organs of the Court including the Presidency, the Judiciary, and the Office of the Prosecutor.

The five year term of the current ICC Registrar Herman von Hebel ends on 16 April 2018. Each Registrar is elected for a five-year term and is eligible for one re-election at the end of their term.

After a review process, the Presidency short-listed 14 candidates. The Judges will elect the next Registrar in March 2018, taking into consideration recommendations from the Assembly of States Parties.
