The UN Secretariat is headed by the [[Secretary-General of the United Nations|Secretary-General]], assisted by a staff of international civil servants worldwide.{{sfn|Fasulo|2004|p=21}} It provides studies, information, and facilities needed by United Nations bodies for their meetings. It also carries out tasks as directed by the Security Council, the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, and other UN bodies.{{sfn|Fomerand|2009|p=285}}
The Secretary-General acts as the ''de facto'' spokesperson and leader of the UN. The position is defined in the UN Charter as the organization's "chief administrative officer".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.un.org/en/documents/charter/chapter15.shtml |title=United Nations Charter: Chapter XV |publisher=United Nations |accessdate=18 November 2013}}</ref> Article 99 of the charter states that the Secretary-General can bring to the Security Council's attention "any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security", a phrase that Secretaries-General since [[Trygve Lie]] have interpreted as giving the position broad scope for action on the world stage.{{sfn|Meisler|1995|pp=31–32}} The office has evolved into a dual role of an administrator of the UN organization and a diplomat and mediator addressing disputes between member states and finding consensus to global issues.{{sfn|Kennedy|2007|pp=59–62}}
The Secretary-General is appointed by the General Assembly, after being recommended by the Security Council, where the permanent members have veto power.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.un.org/sg/appointment.shtml |title=Appointment Process |publisher=United Nations |accessdate=18 November 2013}}</ref> There are no specific criteria for the post, but over the years it has become accepted that the post shall be held for one or two terms of five years, that the post shall be appointed on the basis of geographical rotation, and that the Secretary-General shall not originate from one of the five permanent Security Council member states.<ref name="una-usa-fact">{{cite web | url=http://www.unausa.org/atf/cf/%7B49C555AC-20C8-4B43-8483-A2D4C1808E4E%7D/SG%20Reform%20Fact%20Sheet-fina-logol.pdf |title=An Historical Overview on the Selection of United Nations Secretaries-General | publisher=UNA-USA | accessdate=30 September 2007|format=PDF |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20071025014319/http://www.unausa.org/atf/cf/%7b49C555AC-20C8-4B43-8483-A2D4C1808E4E%7d/SG+Reform+Fact+Sheet-fina-logol.pdf <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = 25 October 2007}}</ref> The current Secretary-General is [[Ban Ki-moon]], who replaced [[Kofi Annan]] in 2007 and was elected for a second term to conclude at the end of 2016.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13868655|title=Ban Ki-moon wins second term as UN Secretary General|publisher=BBC | date=21 June 2011|accessdate=21 November 2013}}</ref>
