You know the context better than me. But I think Just " secretary" would be OK.

Trustee
You can also google the following search term 'أمين السر trustee' and study the results you get, but I believe that the UN has enough authority on the subject.

In reference to Mr. Talawy's disagreement comment I also add that if we take the functional definition of the term 'Secretary' it does not apply to the functions of the "أمين السر". The translation should convey the function of the job.
The Secretary General shall attend the meetings of the Court as a Secretary.
يحضر الأمين العام اجتماعات المجلس ويكون لحضوره صفة أمين السر.

What you are referring to according to the Farouqi legal dictionary is the 'Custodian'. I still believe that the UN handling of this term is the way to go. Please refer to the document as a sample.
