The IAEA is an autonomous international organization within the United Nations system. It partners with more than a dozen UN organizations, thereby helping extend the reach of its services. The IAEA Director General is a member of the United Nations Chief Executive Board and regularly participates in the meetings chaired by the Secretary General of the United Nations.

Iran says IAEA nuclear report ‘not fair and balanced’
The IAEA said it still had questions regarding undeclared nuclear material previously found at three Iranian sites.

In
September 1956, the Conference on the Statute of the IAEA took place at the United
Nations Headquarters and the IAEA Preparatory Committee performed most of its work
there. Soon after the entry into force of the Agency’s Statute — the event that we are
commemorating — a relationship agreement was approved by the IAEA’s Board of
Governors and General Conference in October 1957 and by the United Nations General
Assembly a month later.
Adding
In view of the unique nature of the IAEA’s functions under the terms of its Statute, the
Agency’s relationship with the United Nations assumed a position unlike that of the
specialized agencies within the United Nations family of organizations. Thus, the IAEA,
although it submits reports to the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), reports
primarily to the General Assembly directly, and may also report to the Security Council
whenever necessary.
Adding
the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP) has supported more than 200 projects in developing
countries in the field of nuclear energy, for which the IAEA is the executing agency.
UNDP’s support has so far amounted to about 22 million dollars
