Members of the ICC Court are appointed to three-year terms by the ICC World Council on the recommendation of ICC 'national committees' or groups. In jurisdictions where there is no national committee or group, members are recommended for appointment by the President of the Court. Alternate members are appointed by the World Council on the recommendation of the court's President.

The President of the ICC Court is currently Claudia Salomon of the US.{{cite news |title=Claudia Salomon becomes first woman President of ICC Court |url=https://us.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/w-031-7288 |access-date=10 July 2021 |publisher=Thomson Reuters Practical Law |date=1 July 2021}}{{Dead link|date=November 2024}}
