IAEA
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was established
as an autonomous organization in 1957.
It seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and to
inhibit its use for military purposes.
Media often refer to the IAEA as "the UN's Nuclear Watchdog",
while this describes one of the Agency's roles,
it is by no means the only one.
The IAEA has its headquarters in Vienna, Austria. Two 'Regional Safeguards Offices' are located in Toronto, Canada; and Tokyo, Japan. The IAEA has two liaison offices, located in New York, USA; and Geneva, Switzerland.
In addition, it has laboratories in Seibersdorf and Vienna, Austria; Monaco; and Trieste, Italy.

The organization and its Director General, Mohamed El Baradei, were jointly awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize in 2005.
