Article 43 of the Rome Statute deals with the Registry, which is responsible for the non-judicial aspects of the administration and servicing of the Court. The Registry is headed by the Registrar, who is the principal administrative officer of the Court and exercises his or her functions under the authority of the President of the Court.

The Registrar must be a person of high moral character, be highly competent and have an excellent knowledge of and be fluent in at least one of the working languages of the Court.
