Why you can’t rely on the Worldx Health Organisation or the International Atomic Energy Agency
How the UN works: “know thine enemy” or at least who it is Keith Baverstock University of Eastern Finland, 21 June 13 “………There is therefore an agreement between IAEA and WHO. It covers much more than issues to do with nuclear power. Many of the aspects are important for WHO.
Nuclear power is the most important area where there are problems and it is important to analyse carefully exactly what those problems are.
WHO has the remit to PROTECT public health and ensure quality in health care – their “health for all” policy:
IAEA has the remit to ensure that nuclear technology is used safely because they have the mandate to PROMOTE the peaceful use of atomic energy:
As radiation is a very powerful tool in diagnosing and treating disease the two organisations could be seen as working in harmony, each supporting the other.
The problem arises when the nuclear technology is NUCLEAR POWER…… IAEA claim, disingenuously, that they do not promote nuclear power but only assist where it is wanted and ensure that use is not being made
use of the technology to produce weapons. This latter point is why they fall under the Security Council arm of the UN. I say “disingenuously” because the kind of people that are attracted to work in IAEA are pro-nuclear in outlook and that inevitably skews the views of the organisation as a whole, without there being any tangible indication….. .http://www.chernobylcongress.org/fileadmin/user_upload/pdfs/Baverstock_How_the_UN_works.pdf
