UNSC

The Security Council is the United Nations' most powerful body, with "primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security." Five powerful countries sit as "permanent members" along with ten elected members with two-year terms. Since 1990, the Council has dramatically increased its activity and it now meets in nearly continuous session. It dispatches military operations, imposes sanctions, mandates arms inspections, deploys election monitors and more.

This site presents a useful Introductory Article as well as a wide range of other information. There is material on Membership of the Security Council, including a list of current and former Council members, information on Council presidencies and sanctions committees, and information about the often controversial process of Membership Elections. We also presentTables and Charts on the Security Council, including the frequency of its meetings, number of resolutions, etc.

United Nations Atomic Energy Commission (UNAEC)

The United Nations Atomic Energy Commission (UNAEC) was founded on 24 January 1946 by the first resolution of the United Nations General Assenmbly "to deal with the problems raised by the discovery of atomic energy.”

On 14 December 1946 the General Assembly passed a follow-up resolution urging an expeditious completion of the report by the Commission as well as its consideration by the United Nations Security Council. The Security Council received the report on 31 December 1946 and passed a resolution on 10 March 1947 "recognizing that any agreement expressed by the members of the Council to the separate portions of the report is preliminary" and requesting a second report to be made. On 4 November 1948 the General Assembly passed a resolution stating that it had examined the first, second and third reports of the Commission and expressed its deep concern at the impasse which as been reached, as shown in its third report.

On 14 June 1946, the United States representative to the Commission, Bernard Baruch, presented the Baruch Plan wherein the United States (at the time the only state possessing atomic weapons) would destroy its atomic arsenal on condition that the U.N. imposed controls on atomic development that would not be subject to United Nations Security Council veto. These controls would allow only the peaceful use of atomic energy. The plan was passed by the Commission, but not agreed to by the Soviet Union who abstained on the proposal in the Security Council. Debate on the plan continued into 1948, but by early 1947 it was clear that agreement was unlikely.

In 1949 the Commission decided to adjourn indefinitely.

UNIDO

United Nations Industrial Development Organization

This Organization is headquartered in Vienna, Austria. The Organization's primary objective is the promotion and acceleration of industrial development in developing countries and countries with economies in transition and the promotion of international industrial cooperation.

In order to fulfill these objectives, UNIDO
• assists developing countries in the formulation of development, institutional, scientific and technological policies and programmes in the field of industrial development;
• analyzes trends, disseminates information and coordinates activities in their industrial development;
• acts as a forum for consultations and negotiations directed towards the industrialization of developing countries; and
• provides technical cooperation to developing countries for implementing their development plans for sustainable industrialization in their public, cooperative and private sectors.
UNIDO was established as a UN program with headquarters in Vienna, Austria, and became a specialized agency of the United Nations in 1985.

The UNIDO has 172 member states.
UNIDO's headquarters are located at the Vienna International Centre, the UN campus that also hosts the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization.

Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)

Today, I'm want to tell you something about the Food and Agriculture Organization; short FAO!

The FAO was founded on 16 October 1945. It leads international efforts to defeat hunger. 

FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. They help developing countries. 

The world headquarters are located in Rome.

FAO's activities comprise four main areas:

- putting information within reach 

- sharing policy expertise

- providing a meeting place for nations

- bringing knowledge to the field 

Structure and finance

FAO is governed by the Conference of Member Nations, which meets every two years to review the work carried out by the Organization and approve a Programme of Work and Budget for the next two years.

The Conference elects a Council of 49 Member Nations to act as an interim governing body. Members serve three-year, rotating terms. The Conference also elects the Director-General to head the agency. The current Director-General, Dr Jacques Diouf, of Senegal, began a six-year term in January 1994, was re-elected to a second term which began in January 2000, and a third term beginning of January 2006

FAO’s Regular Programme budget is funded by its members, through contributions set at the FAO Conference. The FAO budget for the years 2008-2009 is US$929.8 million.
