The International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) held its one hundred and first session in New York, from 24 March to 2 April 2026.
During its one hundred and first session, the Commission considered a number of issues including the ongoing comprehensive review of the compensation package, post adjustment matters, and conditions of service for General Service and locally recruited staff in London and other matters.
Regarding the comprehensive review of the compensation package, the Commission considered reports of two working groups established for the review: one relating to the dependency benefits including the education grant, and the other relating to allowances and benefits provided in the field. The working groups’ recommendations as well as the Commission’s conclusions thereon will be included in the final set of recommendations of the Commission to the General Assembly which will be submitted to it at within the established timeline.
The Commission welcomed the guidance provided by the General Assembly in its 2025 resolution on the United Nations common system which showed its commitment to a unified common system and appreciation for the work of the Commission.
The International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) will hold its next (one hundred and second) session from 14 to 24 July 2026 in Vienna, Austria.
