The Provost-General of the League of Nations is the chief administrative officer of the League of Nations and also serves as president of the League of Nations General Assembly. As chief administrative officer, the Provost-General is responsible for oversight of the League's administrative authorities and commissions (collectively referred to as "League agencies") as well as nominating the heads of said commissions. The Provost-General is also responsible for nomination of the members of the International Justice Court.
Selection and term of office
The Office of Provost-General was, for most of its history, an annually elected position held in the General Assembly of the League of Nations. Election for PG is a simple majority vote, with preemptive rounds of voting winnowing out smaller candidates if more than two countries are nominated to fill the role. In 2019, an amendment of the Code of the League of Nations extended terms to two years; in both cases, the term is Jan 1st to Dec 31st. An individual may be Provost-General for two terms, totaling four years.
Powers and duties
The Provost-General oversees the affairs of the General Assembly, which includes presenting resolutions and bills, keeping order, tallying and reporting vote counts, and ensuring that the Code is followed appropriately. Outside of the General Assembly, the PG awards member nations with appointments to the various League agencies and commissions during their term. The PG appoints three members to serve on the Codes Committee (until 2026, the Codes Committee was composed of the runner-up for PG and two members appointed by the PG), as well as nominating three nations to occupy seats on the International Justice Court. Court nominations, unlike appointments, are ratified by the Assembly. The Provost-General also has veto power over Security Council selections made by the head of the SC, which rotates between Urcea, Caphiria, and Kiravia.
League agencies
Environmental Conservation Commission
The ECC is responsible for the maintenance of international nature reserves, the enforcement of minimum standards of environmental preservation, and the assistance of developing economies to minimize the time required for them to improve their industry past the most destructive phases of industrialization.
Human Justice Commission
The representative appointed to the HJC is responsible for bringing cases concerning human rights violations to the International Justice Court, where he or she acts as the prosecutor. Additionally, they have a responsibility to spread awareness of human rights issues and to work towards humanitarian solutions to conflict and the organization of international foreign aid.
Protected Lands and Sea Lanes Authority
The representative of the PLSLA is responsible for upholding international maritime law, protecting international trade law, conducting or coordinating antipiracy operations from member nation forces, and bringing charges of maritime crimes to the International Justice Court.
Bill Drafting and Indexing Commission
The BDIC has historically been an Urcean-held position, and is charged with the legalese of drafting and recording paperwork for the League, as well as consulting with lawyers of both international and local law around the world.
Tourism and Travel Commission
The TTC coordinates travel via air and sea internationally, acting as an organizing body for international airlines and shipping. It works closely with the PLSLA. In addition, the TTC is commonly used as a platform for encouraging cultural exchange programs, streamlining immigration and emigration, and posting travel advisories and highlighting 'destinations of the year'.
Atomic Energy Commission
The AEC is charged with the assistance of legal nuclear energy production, the strict enforcement of nuclear energy safety standards, and the combatting of nuclear proliferation into rogue states worldwide.
Wartime Benefit Fund
Although not established under the Code of the League of Nations, the Treaty of Electorsbourg established the League of Nations Wartime Benefit Fund to benefit war orphans and widows from the Final War of the Deluge. The Provost-General's office oversees the administration of the fund and directs funding to member nations with nationally established programs.
