Introduction to International Atomic Energy Agency:
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA for short) is an independent intergovernmental institution that has established relations with the United Nations with the member countries engaged in science and technology cooperation in the field of atomic energy with each other. In December 1954, the Ninth Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations passed a resolution to set up an international institution dedicated to peaceful use of atomic energy. In October of 1957, IAEA held the first plenary meeting and announced its formal establishment. The mission of IAEA is to seek to accelerate the contribution of atomic energy to peace, health and prosperity of the world, and ensure that the assistance provided by the institution itself, at the request of the institution or under supervision and control of the institution is not used to promote any military purpose. Since its inception, IAEA has signed comprehensive safeguard supervision agreements and individual safeguard agreements with more than 140 countries and regional organizations in the field of safeguard supervision, and concluded and signed voluntary safeguard agreements with nuclear-armed countries respectively.
