The International Atomic Energy Agency
The flag of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) embodies the organization's mission to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and to inhibit its use for any military purpose. The flag features the IAEA's official emblem on a white field, which is designed to symbolize peace and neutrality.
History of The International Atomic Energy Agency
The emblem was adopted in 1957, shortly after the agency was established by the United Nations in 1956. The design was chosen to represent not only the peaceful application of nuclear science but also the global nature of the agency's mandate. The IAEA flag is often displayed at official events, headquarters in Vienna, Austria, and at facilities around the world where the agency is involved in inspections, training, and assistance. The design of the emblem and flag underscores the dual themes of scientific advancement and global peace.
