World Assembly Agencies

World Assembly Agencies, an encompassing term used to refer to agencies, committees, or other organisations of the World Assembly, may be established by resolutions of the General Assembly to execute or fulfil obligations contained within those resolutions. Staffed by civil servants from the World Assembly Secretariat, these agencies may operate out of the WA Headquarters, or may have some branches or offices established in interested member states.

WA agencies may be disestablished by further resolution of the General Assembly via repeal of the resolution that created them; if other extant resolutions reference the agency, however, then a small skeleton staff remains to execute the details mandated of it in that specific resolution.

Active World Assembly Agencies

World Assembly Agencies are considered active when the resolution that originally established the agency is still extant i.e. has not been repealed. Below is a list of active World Assembly Agencies.
