The ICC must include a Presiding Officer, who is a senior-level woman employee, and at least two other members.
Committee process
The ICC investigates the complaint and makes recommendations. The process may include issuing written explanations, an oral hearing, and summoning additional witnesses. The committee's decision is final and binding.
