Other than the judges, the Court also included a Registrar and his Secretariat, the Registry.[79] When the Court met for its initial session, opened on 30 January 1922 to allow for the establishment of procedure and the appointment of Court officials, the Secretary-General of the League of Nations passed an emergency resolution through the Assembly, which designated an official of the League and his staff as the Registrar and Registry respectively,[80] with the first Registrar being Åke Hammarskjöld.[81] The Registrar, required to reside within The Hague,[82] was initially tasked with drawing up a plan to create an efficient Secretariat, using the smallest number of staff possible and costing as little as possible.
