On September 28, 2023, at the session of the IAEA General Conference, Ukraine was elected as a member of the Agency's Board of Governors. This is one of the two governing bodies tasked with reviewing the IAEA's financial statements, program, and budget.
In addition, the Board of Governors considers applications for membership in the Agency, approves safeguards agreements, publishes IAEA safety standards, and appoints the IAEA Director General, who is approved by the General Conference.
