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[edit | edit source]

References[edit | edit source]
- ↑ WANA, though established on 13 August 2009, was later disestablished upon the passage of GA#210 which repealed GA#56. However GA#307 later "re-established" the body on 23 November 2014. As WANA was re-established, as opposed to a new organisation with the same name, its original establishment date is listed here.
- ↑ The resolution creating the WAESC was repealed on 30 April 2019, but as other extant resolutions still tasked the body with some duties, it remained in a skeletal form. The WAESC was re-tasked with much of its original duties, and as such re-staffed, with the passage of GA#465.
- ↑ The WADB was disestablished with the passage of GA#568, though continued in a smaller form due to tasks assigned to it by other resolutions. It was formally re-established with the passage of GA#570
- ↑ The International Identity Database was disestablished with the passage of GA#574. It was re-established with GA#576.
- ↑ The OEA was disestablished with the passage of GA#575. It was re-established with GA#579.
- ↑ Originally established on 12 May 2009, the resolution creating the agency was repealed on 01 September 2011. As no other resolutions had referenced WANC at this point, the agency was fully disestablished. One month later, the resolution establishing WANC again referenced "founding" the agency, thereby confirming this was a new iteration of the agency.
- ↑ The NESC was originally established on this date in GA#204 however a later resolution, GA#212, repealed GA#204. No other resolution at this point referenced the NESC and it was disestablished. However GA#263 officially "re-established" the NESC, thereby clarifying the new iteration was in fact the same body; the original establishment date is therefore referenced in this list.
- ↑ The WACWC was established in GA#266 however that resolution was repealed with the passage of GA#268. Re-established with the passage of GA#272 on 25 November 2013, however, the original establishment date is used here as GA#272 states the body is "re-tasked" confirming it had never been officially disestablished.
- ↑ GA#348 tasks the IMF with executing part of the resolution's obligations however the IMF had not existed in legislation up until this point. It can therefore be assumed that though tasking this body, this resolution also established this body.
- ↑ Though the World Assembly Secretariat has operated a Compliance Commission since the establishment of the World Assembly, this is the first time that body has been given legislative underpinning through a resolution. As such its official establishment date is listed as the date GA#390 was passed.
- ↑ Though not explicitly placed under the purview of the ULC, GA#397 tasks the ULC and previously established child agencies of the ULC with oversight of the WACLC and execution of its functions. It is therefore understood that the WACLC is a child agency of the ULC.
