Composition of the Secretariat

The General Assembly requests the Secretary-General to submit an annual report on the composition of the Secretariat, which is considered by the Fifth Committee every year under the human resources management agenda item. During odd-numbered sessions of the General Assembly, an addendum covering gratis personnel, retirees and consultants is also submitted.

The reports provide statistics on staff composition broken down by gender, grade, Secretariat entity and age, as well as statistics related to geographical representation and the system of desirable ranges.
