Abstract

The intergovernmental agencies related to the UN by special agreements are separate autonomous organizations which work with the UN and each other through the co-ordinating machinery of the Economic and Social Council. 16 of the agencies (ILO, FAO, UNESCO, WHO, IBRD, IDA, IFC, IMF, ICAO, UPU, ITU, WMO, IMO, WIPO, IF AD and UNIDO) are ‘Specialized Agencies’ within the terms of the UN Charter, and report annually to the Economic and Social Council.
