On July 29, 1957, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was officially established, marking a major step in global energy governance. Created under the banner of "Atoms for Peace," the IAEA's mission was twofold: promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy while preventing its use for military purposes.
In the decades since, the IAEA has played a pivotal role in nuclear safety, nonproliferation, and technology sharing — ensuring that atomic power remains a force for progress rather than peril. Its founding laid the groundwork for international cooperation in one of the most powerful and sensitive areas of energy.
