A member of the secretariat of an international organization, who is thus obliged to be professionally loyal to the organization rather than serve the interests of a member state. The likelihood of this obligation being observed is thought to be enhanced if secretariat members are directly employed by the organization rather than temporarily seconded from national civil services. Such a practice was begun by the League of Nations, being strongly advocated by its first Secretary-General, Sir Eric Drummond, who persuaded the League\'s Council to endorse it. Since then this concept of a genuinely international civil service has been generally accepted by international organizations – but that is not to say that member states and secretariat members always live up to it. See also International Civil Service Commission. |
