History
Established on an experimental basis, within the framework of A-XA3375 - United Nations (UN) under General Assembly resolution 2150 (XXI) of 4 Nov 1966 and extended under Assembly resolutions 2735 A (XXV) of 17 Dec 1970 and 2924 B (XXVII) of 24 Nov 1972. Statute, approved by UN General Assembly in 1976, came into effect from 1 Jan 1978. Functions as a subsidiary organ both of the UN General Assembly and also of specialized agencies within the UN system (and of IAEA) which accept JIU Statute; some of these (for constitutional reasons) cannot, however, recognize the Unit as a subsidiary organ of their legislative bodies. Based at E-XE3343 - United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG).
