To be able to attend to the various fields of action of the International Relations Service, several tasks are carried out:

1. Planning: The basic element for the task of the International Relations Service is an adequate planning, strategic and operative design enabling the analysis of the role that the General Council of the Judiciary wants to play in each one of the three fields of action, detailing the principles and general lines, setting aims and strategies, and determining the operative configuration of the Service to better achieve the roles, objectives and lines of action.
2. International Relations Service Team: From a functional point of view, the International Relations Service is a technical organ at the service of the General Council of the Judiciary, dependent on its technical Office. For the performance of its functions, the International Relations Service acts directly under the International Relations Commission, and through it, under the Plenary of the Council.

Regarding its composition, the International Relations Service is made up of a human team as follows:

• Lawyers from high administrative levels (magistrates, prosecutors, diplomats) who are responsible for the fulfilment of the International Relations Commission’s proposals, and who are also endowed with the highest responsibility for the elaboration, execution and development of the different projects and programmes.
• Support administrative team, with three categories of civil servants:
  • Heads of units who assume the management of matters relating to the Service’s activity.
  • Administrators and assistants who cooperate with the material implementation of the activities of the Service.
  • Porters.

An annual report is written of the activities carried out during a term when it expires, to be incorporated into the legally required General Council of the Judiciary’s annual report, which is presented to Parliament and to the public in general. To write the report, the information saved in the Service’s computer files by those responsible for each area is gathered and synthesised, under the coordination of the Service’s Chairmanship.
