The UN Charter stipulates that each primary
organ of the United Nations can establish various specialized agencies to
fulfil its duties. Some best-known agencies are the International Atomic Energy
Agency, the Food and Agriculture Organization, UNESCO (United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), the World Bank, and the
World Health Organization (WHO). The UN performs most of its humanitarian work
through these agencies. Examples include mass vaccination programmes (through
WHO), the avoidance of famine and malnutrition (through the work of the WFP),
and the protection of vulnerable and displaced people (for example, by UNHCR).|
