Selection and term of office
Every four years, the General Assembly of the CCA elect a secretary-general. Every nation is allowed to put forward a nominee, but the five members with the most votes after a preliminary round are taken to a final vote, and the nominee with the most votes is awarded the role for a four-year term. Secretary-generals may run for a consecutive term, with a two-term limit.
Powers and duties
The role of the secretary-general is described as combining the functions and responsibilities of an advocate, diplomat, civil servant, and chief executive officer. The CCA Charter designates the secretary-general as the "chief administrative officer" of the CCA and allows them to perform "such other functions as are entrusted" by other CCA organs. The Charter also empowers the secretary-general to inform the Security Council of "any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security". These provisions have been interpreted as providing broad leeway for officeholders to serve a variety of roles as suited to their preferences, skill set, or circumstances.
The secretary-general's routine duties include overseeing the activities and duties of the secretariat; attending sessions with CCA bodies; consulting with world leaders, government officials, and other stakeholders; and travelling the world to engage with global constituents and bring attention to certain international issues.
Many of the secretary-general's powers are informal and left open to individual interpretation; some appointees have opted for more activist roles, while others have been more technocratic or administrative. The secretary-general is often reliant upon the use of their "good offices", described as "steps taken publicly and in private, drawing upon his independence, impartiality and integrity, to prevent international disputes from arising, escalating or spreading". Consequently, observers have variably described the office as the "world's most visible bully pulpit" or as the "world's moderator".
