Question

Which one of the following pairs of international organizations and their headquarters is incorrect?

The correct answer is
IAEA - The Hague, Netherlands

This question asks us to identify the incorrect pairing between an international organization and its headquarters from the given options.

Internationals Organizations Headquarters Verification

To solve this, we need to know the correct headquarters for each mentioned organization:

Organization Stated Headquarters Actual Headquarters
UN (United Nations) New York, USA New York, USA
FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) Rome, Italy Rome, Italy
IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) The Hague, Netherlands Vienna, Austria
UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) Paris, France Paris, France

Analysis of Incorrect Pairing

Let's examine each option:

  • UN - New York, USA: This is the correct headquarters for the United Nations.
  • FAO - Rome, Italy: This is the correct headquarters for the Food and Agriculture Organization.
  • IAEA - The Hague, Netherlands: This pairing is incorrect. The headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is located in Vienna, Austria, not The Hague. The Hague is famously known as a host city for international courts and tribunals, such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC).
  • UNESCO - Paris, France: This is the correct headquarters for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

Based on this verification, the incorrect pair is IAEA - The Hague, Netherlands.
