The '''Barangay Ginebra Kings''' is a professional team of the [[Philippine Basketball Association]] founded in [[1979 PBA season|1979]]. It is one of the most popular -- if not the most popular -- team in the league. |
|||
The '''International Atomic Energy Agency''' ('''IAEA''') is an international organization that seeks to promote the peaceful use of [[nuclear technology|nuclear energy]] and to inhibit its use for [[nuclear weapon|military purposes]]. Though established independently of the [[United Nations]] under its own international treaty (the IAEA Statute), the IAEA reports to both the [[United Nations General Assembly|General Assembly]] and the [[Security Council]]. |
|||
After some rough times during their first few seasons, their fortunes changed when [[Robert Jaworski]] and [[Francis Arnaiz]] arrived in 1984, following the disbandment of the famed Toyota squad. |
|||
The IAEA has its headquarters in [[Vienna]], [[Austria]]. Two "Regional Safeguards Offices" are located in [[Toronto]], [[Canada]]; and [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]]. The IAEA has two liaison offices, located in [[New York]], [[United States|USA]]; and [[Geneva]], [[Switzerland]]. In addition, it has laboratories in [[Seibersdorf]] and [[Vienna]], [[Austria]]; [[Monaco]]; and [[Trieste]], [[Italy]]. |
|||
Jaworski as playing head coach then steered the franchise to four PBA titles (1986, 1988, 1991, 1997) with the tough and physical squad of the likes of Dondon Ampalayo, Rudy Distrito, and for some times imports like Michael Hackett and [[Billy Ray Bates]]. He left the team in 1998 with the squad of [[Marlou Aquino]], Bal David, Vince Hizon, to name a few. |
|||
It was established as an autonomous organization on [[July 29]], [[1957]]. In 1953, [[United States|U.S.]] [[President of the United States|President]] [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] envisioned the creation of this international body to control and develop the use of atomic energy, in his "''[[Atoms for Peace]]''" speech before the [[UN General Assembly]]. The organization and its Director General, [[Mohamed ElBaradei]], were jointly awarded the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] announced on [[7 October]] [[2005]]. |
|||
Siot Tanquincen and later Jong Uichico then led the Kings to four more titles as head coach with the squad led by [[Mark Caguioa]], [[Eric Menk]] and [[Jayjay Helterbrand]], among others. |

===1979-1984: Gilbey's Gin=== |
|||
The IAEA serves as an intergovernmental forum for scientific and technical co-operation in the peaceful use of nuclear technology worldwide. The IAEA's programmes encourage the development of the peaceful applications of nuclear technology, provide international safeguards against its misuse, and facilitate the application of safety measures in its use. IAEA expanded its [[nuclear safety]] efforts in response to the [[Chornobyl|Chernobyl]] disaster in 1986. |
|||
Joining the league in [[1979 PBA season|1979]], it was known as ''Gilbey's Gin'' of then-owner Carlos Palanca Jr.'s La Tondeña franchise. Its first head coach was Pilo Pumaren and was bannered by former MICAA standout Willie Tanduyan and imports Larry McNeil and Dean Tolson. Gilbey's managed to place fourth in the 1979 Invitational tournament. |
|||
The IAEA was headed by [[Hans Blix]] from 1981 to 1997. The current head of the organization is the Egyptian Mohamed ElBaradei. At the 49th General Conference, ElBaradei was confirmed as Director General until 2009. |
|||
Willie Generalao won the [[Philippine Basketball Association Rookie of the Year award|Rookie of the Year]] honors during the [[1980 PBA season|1980]] season as Gilbey's placed fourth in the All-Filipino tournament. |
|||
The IAEA's mission is guided by the interests and needs of Member States, strategic plans and the vision embodied in the IAEA Statute (see below). Three main pillars - or areas of work - underpin the IAEA's mission: Safety and Security; Science and Technology; and Safeguards and Verification. |
|||
Gilbey's also changed its name one time as ''St. George Whiskies'' when they had a bunch of young teenagers acting as cheerleaders. [http://mypba.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=9&view=findpost&p=13]. |
|||
The Agency and Director General Mohamed ElBaradei were awarded the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] in 2005. In Dr. ElBaradei's speech he stated that only 1% of the money spent on developing new weapons would be enough to feed the entire world and that, if we hope to escape self-destruction, then nuclear weapons should have no place in our collective conscience, and no role in our security. [http://www.iaea.org/NewsCenter/Statements/2005/ebsp2005n020.html Nobel Lecture.] |
|||
In [[1982 PBA season|1982]], the Gins made it to their first Finals appearance during the Open Conference. But, they were swept by [[Toyota Basketball Team|Toyota]] team of coach Ed Ocampo, [[Robert Jaworski]], and Ramon Fernandez. |
|||
==Structure and function== |
|||
Gilbey's made another Finals appearance in the [[1983 PBA season|1983]] All-Filipino but was also swept by Tommy Manotoc's [[Crispa Redmanizers]] in the first of three titles won by the fabled Redmanizers squad. |
|||
{{seealso|Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency}} |
|||
[[Image:Iaea-vienna-05.jpg|thumb|left|IAEA headquarters]]The IAEA is a specialized agency of the [[United Nations]] (UN). The IAEA is not under direct control of any UN body, but reports to both the [[United Nations General Assembly|General Assembly]] and the [[Security Council]]; unlike most other specialized agencies, it does not do most of its work with [[United Nations Economic and Social Council|ECOSOC]]. The IAEA’s structure and function is defined by its founding document: the IAEA’s Statute (see below). The IAEA has three main bodies: the Board of Governors, the [[General Conference]], and the Secretariat. |
|||
The Board of Governors is one of two policy making bodies of the IAEA. The Board consists of 13 members designated by the outgoing Board and 22 members elected by the [[General Conference]]. The outgoing Board designates the ten members who are the most advanced in atomic energy technology and the remaining three most advanced members from any of the following [[IAEA Areas|areas]] that are not represented by the first ten: North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Africa, Middle East and South Asia, South East Asia, the Pacific, and the Far East. These members are designated for one year terms. The General Conference elects 22 members from the remaining nations to two year terms. Eleven are elected each year. The 22 elected members must also represent a stipulated geographic diversity (Statute). The current Board members are: [[Albania]], [[Algeria]], [[Argentina]], [[Australia]], [[Austria]], [[Bolivia]], [[Brazil]], [[Canada]], [[Chile]], the [[People's Republic of China]], [[Croatia]], [[Ecuador]], [[Ethiopia]], [[Finland]], [[France]], [[Germany]], [[Ghana]], [[India]], [[Iraq]], [[Ireland]], [[Italy]], [[Japan]], [[Lithuania]], [[Mexico]], [[Morocco]], [[Nigeria]], [[Pakistan]], [[Philippines]], [[Russia|Russian Federation]], [[Saudi Arabia]], [[South Africa]], [[Switzerland]], [[Thailand]], [[United Kingdom]], [[United States of America]], (IAEA Board of Governors 2007–2008). |
|||
Before the [[1984 PBA season]], Toyota announced its departure from the league after winning nine titles in nine seasons. As part of an agreement with new team Beer Hausen, the rights of the Toyota players will be acquired by Beer Hausen. The team owned by [[Lucio Tan]] is entering its first year in the PBA. |
|||
The Board, in its five yearly meetings, is responsible for making most of the policy of the IAEA. The Board makes recommendations to the [[General Conference]] on IAEA activities and budget, is responsible for publishing IAEA standards and appoints the Director General subject to [[General Conference]] approval (IAEA Fundamentals 2005). Board members each receive one vote. Budget matters require a two-thirds majority. All other matters require only a simple majority. The simple majority also has the power to stipulate issues that will thereafter require a two-thirds majority. Two-thirds of all Board members must be present to call a vote (IAEA Board of Governors 1989). |
|||
The [[General Conference]] (GC) is the highest policymaking body of the IAEA. The GC is made up of all 144 member states. The GC meets once a year, typically in September, to approve the actions and budgets passed on from the Board of Governors. The GC also approves the nominee for Director General and requests reports from the Board on issues in question (Statute). Each member receives one vote. Issues of budget, Statute amendment and suspension of a member’s privileges require a two- thirds majority and all other issues require a simple majority. Similar to the Board, the GC can, by simple majority, designate issues to require a two- thirds majority. The GC elects a President at each annual in order to facilitate an effective meeting. The President only serves for the duration of the session (Statute). |
|||
The main function of the GC is to serve as a forum for debate on current issues and policies. Any of the other IAEA organs, the Director General, the Board and member states can table issues to be discussed by the GC (IAEA Primer). This function of the GC is almost identical to the [[United Nations General Assembly|General Assembly of the United Nations]]. |
|||
Jaworski and backcourt partner Francis Arnaiz refused to join the Beer Hausen team. This further ingnited the internal Toyota feud between Jaworski and Fernandez which went on for the next several years. With this development, Gilbey's accepted Jaworski, Arnaiz and Arnie Tuadles to name a few while several Toyota players, led by Fernandez, joined Beer Hausen. |
|||
The Secretariat is the professional and general service staff of the IAEA. The Secretariat is headed by the Director General. The Director General, currently Dr. [[Mohamed ElBaradei]], is responsible for enforcement of the actions passed by the Board of Governors and the GC. The Director General is selected by the Board and approved by the GC for renewable four year terms. The Director General oversees six departments that do the actual work in carrying out the policies of the IAEA: Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Safety and Security, Nuclear Sciences and Applications, Safeguards, Technical Cooperation, and Management. Dr. [[ElBaradei]], together with the IAEA as an institution, won the 2005 [[Nobel Peace Prize]]. |
|||
Gilbey's suffered another loss in the championship as the [[Crispa Redmanizers]] defeated the Gins, 4-1, giving Crispa its last PBA title. |
|||
The IAEA budget is two-part. The regular budget funds most activities of the IAEA and is assessed to each member nation (€280 million in 2007). The Technical Cooperation Fund is funded by voluntary contributions with a general target in the $70 million range. |
|||
===1985-1987: Ginebra San Miguel=== |
|||
By [[1985 PBA season|1985]], Gilbey's was renamed as Ginebra San Miguel. Following the recruitement of the immensely popular backcourt tandem of Robert Jaworski and [[Francis Arnaiz]], the fanbase of Ginebra grew. These were mostly Toyota fans that followed the two stalwarts. (The precursor of the wild Barangay Ginebra that cheered themselves hoarse in the rafters were the old raucous Toyota cheering squads that rumbled with Crispa fans in the rafters of the Araneta Coliseum). |
|||
With Jaworski and Arnaiz at the forefront, Ginebra's fanbase grew larger. It grew as the ex Toyota backcourt infected the team with the legendary Toyota fighting spirit: |
|||
The process of joining the IAEA is fairly simple. A State must notify the Director General of its desire to join. The Director then submits the request to the Board for consideration. If the State is approved by the Board, the GC must then consider the State. When the State receives final approval for membership, it must then submit its signed acceptance of the IAEA’s Statute. The State is considered a member when its acceptance letter is deposited; the IAEA’s other members are subsequently notified of the new member. |
|||
:''In 1985, Ginebra established itself as the "people's team" when they displayed their never-say-die attitude on court. The biggest manifestation was when their leader, Jaworski came back from the nearby Medical City with seven stitches in his lip to lead the Gins to a come-from-behind victory against NCC. Jaworski incurred this from a wayward elbow inflicted by Jeff Moore in the second canto. But with them behind by 15 points going into the final seven minutes of the game, Jaworski re-entered the court and sparked a frenzy that to date, has yet been matched. The NCC team simply froze upon sight of the Big J and didn't know what hit them, eventually losing to the Gins.''[http://mypba.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=9&view=findpost&p=13] |
|||
In 2004 IAEA developed a Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy (PACT). PACT responds to the needs of developing countries to establish, improve, or expand radiotherapy treatment programs and is raising funds to help countries save lives and reduce suffering of cancer victims.[http://cancer.iaea.org/index.asp] |
|||
Jaworski and Arnaiz turned the moribund franchise into a competitive one almost overnight when in the first conference of the 1984 season, the All Filipino, they led the team to a runnerup finish against powerhouse Crispa. |
|||
The IAEA exists to pursue “safe, secure and peaceful uses of nuclear sciences and technology” (Pillars 2005). The IAEA pursues this mission with three main functions: inspections of existing nuclear facilities to ensure peaceful use, information and standards to ensure the stability of nuclear facilities, and as a hub for the sciences seeking peaceful applications of nuclear technology. |
|||
However in 1985, Ginebra failed to enter the finals in each of the three conferences, despite the team's growing number of fan support, showing only a strong third place finish in the Reinforced Conference. |
|||
== Membership == |
|||
Michael Hackett also saw his name in the PBA record books by scoring 103 points in Ginebra's 197-168 victory against Great Taste on [[November 21]], [[1985]]. This was later broken by Swift's [[Tony Harris (baskeball player)|Tony Harris]] in a [[1992]] game, against Ginebra. |
|||
[[Image:IAEA members.svg|thumb|280px|IAEA members]] |
|||
The [[Holy See]] and many of the [[List of United Nations member states|UN members]] are parties of the IAEA. |
|||
Former Crispa import [[Billy Ray Bates]] was brought in for the [[1986 PBA season|1986]] Open Conference. Each PBA team was allowed to get two imports for the said conference. Bates' other partner was Michael Hackett, who was the [[1985 PBA season|1985]] Open Conference [[Philippine Basketball Association Best Player of the Conference Award|Best Import]]. It is believed that the pair was the greatest import tandem in PBA history. |
|||
Not participating are: |
|||
The super imports combined to lead Ginebra in the Finals of the tournament against the Lucio Tan franchise now known as [[Manila Beer]], with the newly acquired Abet Guidaben and imports Michael Young and Harold Keeling. Bates and Hackett powered Ginebra to a convincing 4-1 win in the series to give the team its first-ever championship. |

===1988-1990: Añejo Rhum 65=== |
|||
In [[1988 PBA season|1988]], Ginebra changed their name to ''Añejo Rhum'' with the team already displaying a rugged style of play. Añejo took on new team [[Purefoods Chunkee Giants|Purefoods]] in the Finals of the All-Filipino Conference. Añejo won the series 3-1 over the young Purefoods team led by Jerry Codinera,Alvin Patrimonio and Jojo Lastimosa (who had a confrontation with Jaworski). At that time Ramon Fernandez was benched by Purefoods management for alleged game-fixing. In the final game, three Ginebra players scored 25 points or more - Joey Loyzaga, Dondon Ampalayo and Sonny Jaworski as the Gins didn't allow the then rookie-laden Purefoods team to gain confidence, winning by a comfortable 9 point margin. Of course, the game was close all throughout until the final 3 minutes of the game when Loyzaga and Jaworski uncorked timely 3-pointers that sealed the fate of Purefoods.[http://mypba.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=9&view=findpost&p=18] |
|||
{| class="wikitable" |
|||
In the season-ending Reinforced Conference wherein teams were allowed two imports each, Añejo again hired the great Billy Ray Bates and paired him with soon-to-be Boston Celtics starter Kevin Gamble. But at this time, Bates was fading and was clearly just a shadow of his old self. After only four games, the PBA's "greatest import ever" was sent home for good. Añejo would finish the season with the exciting and high-scoring duo of "Jumpin'" Joe Ward and Tommy Davis as imports. |

|||
On the next season, Añejo lost in five games to the [[Grand Slam (PBA)|grand slam]] winning [[San Miguel Beermen|San Miguel Beer]] in the Third (Reinforced) Conference. In that Conference, Añejo paraded another super import in Carlos Briggs who easily bagged the Best Import Award. |

In [[1990 PBA season|1990]], Añejo entered the finals of the First Conference against [[Benjie Paras]] and the [[Shell Turbo Chargers|Shell Rimula X]] team. In Game Six, with Shell already leading the series 3-2, Añejo protested a foul on Rey Cuenco with a few minutes left in the second quarter. This led to the infamous walk out of Añejo. The team also complained about the unfavorable officiating as the team had more fouls than Shell. In the end, the game was forfeited and awarded the title to Shell. |
|||

===1991-1996: Back to Ginebra San Miguel=== |
|||
|- |
|||
In [[1991 PBA season|1991]], Añejo reverted back to Ginebra. They met [[Shell Turbo Chargers|Shell]] once again in the 1991 First Conference title series. Shell got the upper hand by taking a 3-1 series, needing only a win to clinch the series. But Ginebra managed a furious comeback to force a seventh game. In the final seconds of Game 7, an off-balanced shot by Rudy Distrito with a second remaining sealed Ginebra's third PBA title and completed the greatest comeback in PBA history. |
|||
| {{flagicon|Egypt}} [[Mohamed ElBaradei]] || 1997 - ''Present'' |
|||
Ginebra placed third in the [[1992 PBA season|1992]] Third Conference but at that time the team was starting to fade. |
|||
In the [[1993 PBA season|1993]] pre-season, the Gins were given the second overall pick in the 1993 PBA draft behind new team Sta. Lucia Realty (which replaced Presto). They drafted former FEU power forward [[Victor Pablo]] but immediately traded him to 7-Up Uncolas for veterans Manny Victorino and Alejo Alolor. The said trade was lambasted by most fans, and it cost Ginebra their performance for the year where they compiled a record of 9-26 win-loss slate in all three conferences. This horrible performance gave them the top pick in the next draft. |
|||
In [[1994 PBA season|1994]], in an effort to change their fortunes, the team was renamed as ''Tondeña Rhum 65''. The team selected Noli Locsin with their first pick, and was hoped by many fans to save the team for the season. But Tondeña's struggles continued, winning just 12 of the 32 games that year. |
|||
In [[1995 PBA season|1995]], the team reverted again to Ginebra. They selected 7-0 center [[Edward Joseph Feihl]] and also drafted Jaworski's son, Robert Jr. The drafting of Feihl surprised many basketball analysts. They were expecting Ginebra to either draft Kenneth Duremdes or Jeffrey Cariaso at that time. Jaworski later quoted "It's not everyday that you see a 7-footer applying for the draft." Unfortunately, misfortunes still struck the team as Ginebra won only 5 of the 30 games played that year, capped by a 0-10 win-loss record during the Governor's Cup. The worst season triggered rumors that Ginebra was disbanding. But the rumor was quickly killed off after the team posted a printed advertisement in major newspapers that they were staying in the PBA. As a result, Ginebra snagged the top pick again in the next draft. This was the last time a PBA team with the worst record was awarded the top pick in the draft. In the succeeding drafts, the worst PBA team had to compete with the second worst team via lottery to determine the No. 1 ranking in the PBA draft. |
|||
In [[1996 PBA season|1996]], Ginebra used the top overall pick to draft controversial center [[Marlou Aquino]] from [[Adamson University]]. Aquino was a big star in the PBL for Nikon and Stag Pale Pilsen but was involved in a controversial scandal in terms of his academic status with Adamson although it was somewhat neglected when he jumped pro. Aquino showed the promise Ginebra fans expected during the All-Filipino Conference as Ginebra won fourth place that tournament. It also showed the discovery of former [[University of Santo Tomas]] point guard Bal David as one of the team's popular players along with Vince Hizon, Jayvee Gayoso and Pido Jarencio. |
|||
In the Commissioner's Cup, the team was paraded by NBA veteran Henry James as Ginebra wound up in a knockout match against familiar rival Formula Shell. Kenny Redfield's buzzer-beating three enabled Formula Shell to enter the finals. Ginebra finally entered the Finals of the Governors Cup but lost to the [[Grand Slam (PBA)|grand slam]] winning [[Alaska Aces (PBA)|Alaska Milkmen]] in five games. |
|||
Aquino's impact on Ginebra gave the team a 30-game improvement from a year ago and was named as the [[Philippine Basketball Association Rookie of the Year award|Rookie of the Year]]. |
|||
===1997-1998: Gordon's Gin Boars=== |
|||
[[image:gordonsgin1997.png|thumb|right|150px|Gordon's Gin Boars logo from 1997 to 1998]] |
|||
In [[1997 PBA season|1997]], Ginebra was renamed once again, this time as the ''Gordon's Gin Boars''. Gordon's was now considered as a title favorite for the league's 23rd season. |
|||
One of the most memorable shots in team history was Bal David's final second heave from half-court to defeat San Miguel by a point during the All-Filipino Cup. |
|||
Gordon's entered the Finals of the All-Filipino against the [[Purefoods Chunkee Giants|Purefoods Corned Beef Cowboys]]. Purefoods managed to take a 3-1 series lead. In Game Five, they were about to score a winning basket after a Gordon's turnover. But Vince Hizon blocked Dindo Pumaren's layup, as the Boars lived another day. Unfortunately, in Game Six, the strong performance of [[Alvin Patrimonio]] and company denied Gordon's a title losing the series 4-2. The loss marked Jaworski's (playing coach) last game with the La Tondeña franchise and did not enter himself in a game since. |
|||
In the Commissioner's Cup, NBA veteran [[Chris King]] became a replacement in time for the semis of the tournament. Gordon's met sister-team [[San Miguel Beermen|San Miguel]] in a knockout semifinal match. It was a true classic game that went to double overtime and saw several comebacks by Gordon's. The Boars won, 105-101, to meet [[Alaska Aces (PBA)|Alaska]] in the finals. Gordon's eventually defeated Alaska in six games for their first title in six years. Jaworski got into the mic and thanked the Gordon's Gin fans for their support. |
|||
Expectations were high for the Governor's Cup, but they were eliminated by [[Sta. Lucia Realtors|Sta. Lucia]] in the quarterfinals. |
|||
In [[1998 PBA season|1998]], Jaworski ran for a [[Senate of the Philippines|senatorial seat]] for the elections which he won by a lot of votes. This led to a conflict between Jaworski's role in the Senate and his role as coach of Ginebra (named during the Commissioner's Cup). Assistant Rino Salazar was named as interim at one point. Ginebra still struggled despite the addition of Bong Alvarez to the team. |

That year, [[Danding Cojuangco]] regained ownership of [[San Miguel Corporation]]. One of the moves the team made was adding [[Allan Caidic]] from San Miguel Beer. This caused a rift between Jaworski and the new management because he was not informed of the move. In a press conference held at the Senate, Jaworski resigned as playing coach of Ginebra. |
|||
To this day, Jaworski hasn't announced his retirement, but before he quit his post, he was considered the oldest basketball player on any roster at 52 years of age. |
|||
===1999-present: Barangay Ginebra Kings=== |
|||
[[image:Brgy-ginebra-ver1.png|thumb|right|Brgy. Ginebra Kings logo from 1999 to 2000]] |
|||
After [[Robert Jaworski|Jaworski]] left, the team still enjoyed popularity. The chant of ''Ginebra! Ginebra!'' filled the air wherever the team was playing. It is said that their fans can compose a [[barangay]], hence the phrase ''Barangay Ginebra'' came into being to denote the team's legions of fans. |
|||
In [[1999 PBA season|1999]], the team was then officially called ''Barangay Ginebra''. Now, "Barangay Ginebra" did not only denote to the fans of the team, but to the club as well. It is often said that wherever Ginebra plays, they have a homecourt advantage. |
|||
In the All-Filipino, Brgy. Ginebra only managed to finish 8th in the eliminations, and needed to win twice against the first-seeded [[Talk N' Text Phone Pals|Mobiline Phone Pals]] team of [[Asi Taulava]]. The Kings managed to forced a knockout match, winning the first game. In the decider, Brgy. Ginebra came back from a 20 point deficit and Bal David's off-balance game-winner resulted in one of the biggest upsets in league history to advance to the next round. Taulava was seen crying in disappointment after the game after he failed to stop the smaller but quicker & more cunning Bal David. In the semis, they were eliminated by eventual champion [[Shell Turbo Chargers|Shell]] that was marred by a scuffle in Game One of the series. |
|||
Noli Locsin was later traded to Pop Cola for the acrobatic Vergel Meneses but it still didn't help the Kings throughout the season. Allan Caidic replaced Rino Salazar as the team's head coach. In the offseason, Marlou Aquino was also traded, this time Jared Marzan was join the team. |
|||
Brgy. Ginebra was eliminated early in the quarterfinals by [[Tanduay Rhum Masters|Tanduay]] in the [[2000]] All-Filipino Cup as well as the Commissioner's Cup. With Brian Green as import for the Governors' Cup, the Kings tried to repeat the same result of the [[1999]] All-Filipino against [[Talk N' Text Phone Pals|Mobiline]]. But the Phone Pals were able to beat Brgy. Ginebra in the knockout match. |
|||
In [[2001 PBA season|2001]], Barangay Ginebra drafted Filipino-American [[Mark Caguioa]], a virtual unknown in the Philippine basketball scene. Despite that, Caguioa showed brilliance during the All-Filipino, earning his current nickname ''The Spark''. The Kings finished 5th in the eliminations and faced Purefoods, who had a twice-to-beat advantage, in the quarterfinals. In a repeat of the events of two years ago, the Kings were able to defeat the TJ Hotdogs twice, after an off-balanced game-winner by Ronald Magtulis, to enter the semis. The Kings faced Shell in a five-game affair, and Brgy. Ginebra upset the top-seeded Turbo Chargers in five games to meet sister team [[San Miguel Beermen|San Miguel]] in the finals. Barangay Ginebra trailed 0-2 but won the next two games to tie the series at 2-2. In the end though, the Beermen won the series in six games. |
|||
Ginebra's success in the All-Filipino were not duplicated in the import-laced Commissioner's and Governor's Cup as they were eliminated in the quarterfinals. |
|||
After the season, the Kings acquired [[Eric Menk]] from Tanduay to solidy their frontline for the [[2002 PBA season|2002]] season. Unfortunately, Menk was loaned to the Philippine team and the Kings struggled throughout the Governor's and Commissioner's Cups, once again failing to enter the semis. In the All-Filipino, Menk made his Ginebra debut but the team did not enter the quarterfinals. |
|||
[[Rommel Adducul]] finally made his PBA debut after his years with the [[Metropolitan Basketball Association]]. Barangay Ginebra selected the former [[San Sebastian College - Recoletos]] Stag as the No. 2 pick in the [[2003 PBA season|2003]] draft. His addition though, did not help Ginebra's fortune to change for the 29th season. In the All-Filipino conference, they were eliminated by eventual champions, [[Talk N' Text Phone Pals]] in the quarterfinals. They also failed to qualify for the Invitational tournament, after being eliminated by eventual champions, [[Alaska Aces (PBA)| Alaska Aces]] in the qualifying rounds. In the season ending Reinforced Conference, they were knocked out by sister team and eventual champions, [[Coca Cola Tigers]] in the quarterfinals. |
|||
====2004-2005: Back-to-back titles==== |
|||
At the start of the [[2004 PBA Fiesta Conference]], Caidic was promoted to team manager and was replaced by former San Miguel assistant coach Siot Tanquincen. One of Tanquincen's best moves was to give more playing time to comebacking Jayjay Helterbrand over veteran Bal David, who was nursing an injury. His partnership with Mark Caguioa was later dubbed by [[Associated Broadcasting Company|ABC Sports]] commentators as the "Fast and the Furious." The team also traded Jun Limpot and Rob Johnson to sister team Purefoods in exchange for Rodney Santos and Andy Seigle. The changes helped Ginebra to become a strong team during the season. |
|||
And in [[July 7]], [[2004]], Barangay Ginebra ended a 7-year title drought when they defeated [[Red Bull Barako]] in a best of 5 finals, 3-1, capturing the transition 2004 Fiesta Conference. During that time, [[Torraye Braggs]] was their import player. It was actually a total miracle as the team was only seeded 7th after the classification rounds. In the sudden death wildcard phase, they came back from a 21-point deficit to beat the [[Sta. Lucia Realtors]]. In the quarterfinal round, they had a 2-1 record, good enough to make it to the semifinals. In the best of 3 semifinals, they eventually survived the [[Talk N' Text Phone Pals]] in Game 3 on their way to the finals. |
|||
In [[February 11]], [[2005]], Barangay Ginebra proved that the last championship was not a fluke by winning the next conference, the 2004-2005 Philippine Cup, a conference without imports. They dethroned the defending champions [[Talk N' Text Phone Pals]], 4-2, in a controversial best of 7 Finals series. Game One was forfeited in favor of Ginebra when Phone Pals star center Asi Taulava, who was ineligible to play, entered the game. His citizenship case was still on the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation. The Kings filed a protest prior to the start of game one. Barangay Ginebra carried the momentum and went on to win the championship. This was also the first time in franchise history that they won back-to-back championships. |
|||
====2005-2006: Ginebra-Red Bull playoffs duel==== |
|||
The Kings' victory over Red Bull in the [[2004-05 PBA season|2004]] Fiesta Conference broke the flawless finals record of the Bulls. And it proved to be costly too, as Red Bull would go on to master Ginebra in the next 3 conferences that would follow after the Kings' back-to-back championships, denying the Kings numerous chances to rewrite history. |
|||
In the '''[[2004-05 PBA season|2004-05]] Fiesta Conference''', Barangay Ginebra had a chance to rewrite history by winning the last possible 3-conference championship [[Grand Slam (PBA)|grand slam]]. Unfortunately, obstacles such as import problems, injury to star point guard Jayjay Helterbrand and the suspension of future [[Philippine Basketball Association Most Valuable Player award|MVP]] [[Eric Menk]] due to citizenship issues, made the team struggle throughout the conference. They placed 9th of 10 teams in the conference after being swept by [[Red Bull Barako]] in the best of 3 wildcard phase of the playoffs. Red Bull Barako took 4th place after being defeated by eventual champions, and Ginebra's sister team, [[San Miguel Beermen]]. |
|||
In the '''[[2006 PBA Fiesta Conference Playoffs|2005-2006 Fiesta Conference]]''', Barangay Ginebra was seeded to the semifinals after winning the 2nd seed playoff against [[Red Bull Barako]]. Original import Sean Lampley was replaced in time for the playoffs, by former [[Auburn University]] standout [[Chris Porter (basketball)|Chris Porter]], in order to strengthen Ginebra's quest to regain the Fiesta Conference title. But, his addition was not enough to help the Kings reach the Finals. |
|||
They faced [[Red Bull Barako]] themselves in the semifinals, and eventually lost in the series, 4-3. But the Kings showed real fighting heart as they came back and tied the series, after being down 1-3. It was an emotional series for the fans, who were expecting for a repeat of the historic comeback made by the team during the [[1991 PBA season|1991]] First Conference. |
|||
After the series, coach Siot Tanquincen, apologized to the legion of the team's fans. It was also revealed that Mark Caguioa was playing hurt and had a hamstring injury throughout the series. Barangay Ginebra battled [[Air21 Express]] for 3rd place honors but lost. In that game, an evidently lackluster Barangay Ginebra team played, which was believed to be still emotionally down from their game 7 defeat. [[Red Bull Barako]] eventually won the championship against the [[Purefoods Chunkee Giants]] in six games. |
|||
In the '''[[2006 PBA Philippine Cup Playoffs|2005-2006 Philippine Cup]]''', Barangay Ginebra finished with a 7-9 win-loss record in the classification phase. Being defending champions, they were considered as favorites to win the tournament. Unfortunately, injuries haunted the team as players began to fall one by one. All-stars Eric Menk and Rommel Adducul and role players Rodney Santos and Andy Seigle all suffered injuries during the conference. The Kings made a gallant stand in the wildcard phase as role players Manny Ramos, Allan Salansang, Ervin Sotto and Mark Macapagal, were able to step up their games. Ginebra took the sixth and final spot in the quarterfinals after defeating Air21 on [[June 4]] with a 118-114 overtime victory as Mark Caguioa recorded a new career-high with 45 points. |
|||
However, the Kings still fell short as they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Red Bull, 3-2. After Ginebra led 2-1 in the series, the Bulls clinched the series by defeating the Kings by more than 25 points in the last two games. The Bulls went on to survive the [[San Miguel Beermen|Beermen]] in 7 semis games, before being denied a [[Grand Slam (PBA)|grand slam]] themselves by the [[Purefoods Chunkee Giants|Giants]]. |
|||
====2006-07 Season: Sister Act (Ginebra vs. San Miguel)==== |
|||
In the off season, the Kings were involved in the controversial three-way-team trade with [[Coca-Cola Tigers]] and [[Air21 Express]]. The first part of the trade saw the Express sending Ryan Bernardo and its 2007 and 2008 first-round draft picks to the Tigers for [[Rafi Reavis]], [[Billy Mamaril]] and the rights to [[Rudy Hatfield]]. The second part sent Reavis, Mamaril and Hatfield's rights from the Express to the Kings for Kalani Ferreria, Aries Dimaunahan, Manny Ramos, and Ervin Sotto plus the Kings two second-round draft picks that year and a future first-round pick. The third part was voided by Commissioner [[Noli Eala]], which would have allowed the Express to regain its own 2007 and 2008 picks plus the Tigers' 2008 second round draft pick from Coke, in exchange for Ferreria and Ramos plus the second-round pick this year and the future first-round pick. [[Air21 Express|Air21]] and [[Coca-Cola Tigers|Coca-Cola]] submitted a revised version of that part of the trade and was approved by Commissioner Eala. |
|||
Under the revised version, the Express will trade Manny Ramos and Kalani Ferreria plus two second-round picks acquired from [[San Miguel Beermen|San Miguel]] and Ginebra to the Tigers. The Tigers retained [[Air21 Express|Air21]]'s 2007 and 2008 first-round picks but traded away their 2008 and 2009 first-round picks. |
|||
The trade has been questioned by many within the league as a one-sided trade. It also speculated the rumors of Coca-Cola's possible disbandment from the league, which was denied in a statement released by the president of Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines Inc.(CCBPI) and PBA board of governors for the [[Coca-Cola Tigers]]. |
|||
Also, the coaching staff underwent a major revamp with Jong Uichico, from sister team [[San Miguel Beermen|San Miguel Beer]], taking over coaching duties from Siot Tanquingcen. Tanquingcen demoted as assistant coach, along with Art Dela Cruz and Junno Sauler. Dela Cruz is also from [[San Miguel Beermen|San Miguel Beer]], having served as assistant coach, while Sauler is a holdover from Tanquingcen's coaching staff. Uichico, Tanquincen, and Dela Cruz powered San Miguel Beer in their late-90s championship run and also helped win their 17th title. |
|||
As part of their preparations for the [[2006-07 PBA season]], the team competed in the 6th Shell Rimula Brunei Cup but failed to make it to the semis after losing close games. They started the [[PBA]] pre-season tournament with a 90-75 drubbling of [[Purefoods Chunkee Giants|Purefoods]],[http://pba.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1162&Itemid=59] but failed to advance to the pre-season finals due to an inferior record of only 2-2. |
|||
Rudy Hatfield made a comeback from years of absence and he decided to play for Ginebra alongside with his bestfriend, Eric Menk. |
|||
Coca-cola released [[Johnny Abarrientos]] two weeks before the start of PBA and Ginebra was able to catch him as back-up guard for Jayjay Helterbrand. His court generalship will be additional factor as Kings' powerhouse line-up. |
|||
[[Image:Ginebra@Cuneta.jpg|thumb|Ginebra during the warmups prior to their game against the [[San Miguel Beermen]] at the [[Cuneta Astrodome]].]] |
|||
In the season opener, the Kings defeated the expansion [[Welcoat Dragons]] 102-69 on October 1. Two victories over sister team Purefoods and Air21 gave Ginebra an early 3-0 record before being defeated by Red Bull in a hyped matchup on October 15. |
|||
[[Rommel Adducul]] was later sent to the San Miguel Beermen as part of a three-team deal which involved Red Bull, a non-SMC squad. [http://pba.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1229&Itemid=82] Ironically, the following game saw the two sister teams face off at the [[Cuneta Astrodome]], in a game which the Beermen edged 101-97 in overtime, after leading by as much as 20 points during the regulation period. At the middle of the elimination round, they have acquired the energetic Ronald Tubid from the [[Air21 Express]]. [http://pba.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1251&Itemid=82] Midway through the elimination round, the team managers of SMC squads were shuffled. Ginebra's team manager, [[Allan Caidic]] was replaced by [[Samboy Lim]] and Caidic was sent to the [[Coca-Cola Tigers]]. The Kings advanced to the semifinals as the first seed. [http://pba.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1347&Itemid=82] On the semifinal series against the Phone Pals, they won the pivotal Game 5 where the series was tied 2-2, leading to the series clinching Game 6 win. |
|||
In the finals, Ginebra met sister team San Miguel Beer and fell behind 0-2 early in the series. They would win their next four games, with games 3 and 4 being blowouts, being only the fifth PBA team to win the title after losing their first two games. Ginebra's backcourt general [[Jayjay Helterbrand]] sank the two crucial free throws of Game 6, was adjudged Finals MVP, while [[Mark Caguioa]] the consistent scoring machine won the Best Player of the Conference award. |
|||
After they won the Philippine Cup Title, Caguioa, Helterbrand and Menk were loaned to play for the [[Philippine national basketball team]] to compete for the FIBA Asia Tournament. They also lose Rudy Hatfield early in the first round due to personal problems but their import Rod Nealy provided all-around offense for the Kings. Despite of a depleted lineup, they still managed to finish 12-6 in 3rd seed of an outright quarterfinals berth thanks to their bench contributions of Mark Macapagal, Gec Chia and Egay Echavez who stepped up for the loss of their backcourt tandem of Caguioa and Helterbrand. In the quarterfinals, they faced San Miguel Beermen again but ended the series differently. This time they took Game 1 with a 113-87 victory but San Miguel took Game 2 and won an overtime thriller 117-114 in Game 3, thwarting the Kings' chance to win another back-to-back titles. |
|||
====2007-2008 Season: Ginebra vs. Air21 showdown==== |
|||
In the off-season, the Kings made few adjustments to their roster by trading Mark Macapagal to Coca Cola for guard Chris Pacana and Gec Chia to Talk 'N Text for veteran Vic Pablo.They also boosted their backcourt by drafting Macky Escalona from Ateneo and acquiring Paul Artadi from Air 21 after being traded by Purefoods. They also added depth by getting [[Willie Wilson]] and [[Vic Pablo]]. Still, they lacked interior presence due to the loss of Hatfield and injuries to Rafi Reavis and Billy Mamaril. Despite having Helterbrand back in the lineup, they have yet returned to their competitive form because Caguioa got injured. They won the opening game vs Red Bull but finished the eliminations 8-10 ending up in the wildcard phase where they met Air 21 and lose 119-110 ending its title defense. |
|||
After failing to defend their Philippine Cup crown, they signed [[Alex Crisano]] to supplement their big men and [[Rahshon Turner]] as their import for the [[2008 PBA Fiesta Conference]]. Despite of a different lineup, the Kings had a slow start losing their first five games with both Turner and [[Ernest Brown]]. To stop the losing streak, they replaced Brown with another recruit from the [[NBA Development League]], Chris Alexander whose post up scoring and rebounding helped the Kings win 10 of their next 13 games in the eliminations. The Kings ended on a high note ending the eliminations 10-8 with an outright quarterfinals berth. They faced the [[Sta. Lucia Realtors]] in the quarterfinals and completed a 2 game sweep en route to another showdown against Red Bull. In the semis, which everyone predicted to be a 7-game showdown saw the Kings sweep the Barakos that included a 101-97 overtime victory in Game 4. So convincingly was the sweep that they shamed the Red Bull all throughout the series and Red Bull never knew what hit them. So ashamed they went all the way to locker room without congratulating Barangay Ginebra. This gives Ginebra its first series sweep in franchise history, its 17th finals appearance, [[Jong Uichico]]'s 12 finals appearance (2nd with the Kings) and the first sweep in league history in 16 years (the last was in 1992 Third Conference when Swift swept 7-Up in the finals). The Game 4 victory extended their winning streak dating back from the eliminations to 12 (the longest in franchise history and the PBA for 12 years). |

<!-- Image with unknown copyright status removed: [[Image:ZZZ 082108 sports b-1-.jpg|thumb|Ginebra as they celebrated their 8th PBA title after defeating the [[Air 21 Express]] at the [[Araneta Coliseum]].]] --> |
|||
In the finals, they met the [[Air 21 Express]] who seeks to win its first franchise title. At the opener, the Kings extended their winning streak to 13 with a 105-96 victory. But in Game 2, Ginebra's misfortunes came by when Jayjay Helterbrand injured his hamstring giving the momentum to the Express for a 124-90 pounding, the worst loss of Uichico's coaching career. As their injuries continued to pile up, they lost Game 3 and Helterbrand for the rest of the series. However, with their never-say-die attitude, the Kings managed to tie the series with a 90-77 win in Game 4 with Ronald Tubid returning from a dislocated left ankle to give them a lift, but lost a dogfight 76-73 in Game 5. In Game 6 the Kings proved that they are more worthy of the title by extending the series to a Game 7 with a 80-75 victory thanks to Alexander's 37 points (20 in the 3rd quarter) to lift the Kings despite an injury plagued lineup. In game 7, despite the injury suffered by [[Junthy Valenzuela]] (tendonitis) and Chris Alexander (cramps) in the 3rd quarter, the locals led by [[Ronald Tubid]] and [[Eric Menk]] had a terrific performance especially in the 2nd half to maintain the lead and seal the 97-84 victory and won the series 4-3 to win their 8th championship. With the victory they surpassed Purefoods in over-all titles won. Tubid and Menk were named co-finals MVP for the first time in league and franchise history. [[Jong Uichico]] also won his 8th PBA title as a coach and his 2nd with the Kings. A Record crowd of 22,902 witness Kings’ coronation, the highest paying crowd attendance in Araneta since the Crispa-Toyota days. |
|||
====2008-09 PBA off-season==== |
|||
During the off-season, Ginebra decided to go on free-agent market to finalize their 14 man lineup instead of undrafted rookies. Due to their aging and injured frontcourt, Ginebra decided to fill their void at the [[Small Forward]] position by signing the 6-foot-6 former [[De La Salle Green Archers|DLSU Archer]] [[Junjun Cabatu]] to a 2 year contract. |
|||
==Controversies== |
|||
Over the last few years, Ginebra has been involved in several incidents involving players and the team itself. |
|||
*Jaworski and Fernandez, two former Toyota teammates, engaged in a well-publicized feud in [[1984 PBA season|1984]]. Apparently, Toyota's players were sold to new team Beer Hausen. Jaworski, in utter defiance, refused to play for Beer Hausen and joined Ginebra. The franchise sell out was the final straw in the 2 year silent feud of Jaworski and Fernandez within Toyota. It finally exploded into a full out war between the two. However, in the [[1989 PBA season|1989]] All-Star Game, Jaworski and Fernandez were teammates for the Veterans. In the final seconds, with the game tied, Jaworski's pass to Fernandez led to the Veterans escaping a 132-130 win against the Rookies-Sophomores-Juniors team in the inaugural All-Star Game. Afterwards, Jawo and Fernadez shook hands to the delight of the capacity crowd at [[PhilSports Arena|ULTRA]], now PhilSports Arena, which signalled the reconcillation between the two legends. |
|||
*On [[May 15]], [[1990]], Shell defeated Anejo Rhum 4-2 to win the 1990 PBA 1st Conference title. However, it sparked a controversy in the sixth and final game of the series when the whole Anejo team walked out with still 2:52 left in the fourth quarter in favor of the Zoom Masters. Back-to-back technical fouls were slapped by referee Rudy Hines on Rey Cuenco led to the walkout, as loyal Anejo fans peltered the court with debris. Coach Robert Jaworski and team manager Ber Navarro refused to return back to the playing court, which resulted in the forfeiture of the match, and the championship to Shell. Two days later, the league fined Anejo a whopping 550,000 [[Philippine peso|pesos]], the biggest in league history. It was the second time that a forfeiture happened in a PBA Finals series since [[Crispa Redmanizers|Crispa]] in Game four of the 1975 series against rival [[Toyota Basketball Team|Toyota]]. |
|||
*Robert Jaworski resigned as player-coach of the team after the [[1998 PBA season|1998]] due to misunderstandings with the new management of [[San Miguel Corporation]]. It is claimed that the newly-elected Senator was frustrated over the company's acquisition of [[Allan Caidic]] as the new assistant-playing coach from San Miguel without first getting input from the famed coach. |
|||
* On [[May 17]], [[1999]], a bench-clearing brawl ensured during Game two of the All-Filipino Cup semi-finals series against [[Shell Turbo Chargers|Formula Shell]]. A total of 235,000 pesos was slapped on 16 players and one official from both teams. Shell's Jay Mendoza was fined 40,000 pesos, while Ginebra players Noli Locsin, Elmer Lago, Cris Bolado and Boy Valera were fined 20,000 each. |
|||
*Ginebra fans are known for peltering debris whenever they felt that officiating was poor. It was joked by many that the coins that the fans threw are collected by the referees. However, it is somewhat rare to see such incidents these days due to either proper security measures, especially at the privately-owned Araneta Coliseum or the poor attendance that the league has been suffering. |
|||
*In the 2005 PBA Philippine Cup Finals, Barangay Ginebra was awarded the winner of the first game of the series, after Finals opponent [[Talk N' Text Phone Pals]] fielded suspended cager [[Asi Taulava]]. With documents of his Filipino blood still questionable, the Phone Pals used the 6-9 center in their convincing double-digit victory. The Kings filed a protest prior to the start of the game. Two days later, PBA Commissioner [[Noli Eala]] announced the forfeiture of Talk N' Text's Game one victory. |
|||
haha |
|||
==Trivia== |
|||
*[[Gary Granada]], a well-known composer and singer in the Philippines, composed numerous songs about the Kings; ''"Ginebrang Ginebra", "Kapag Nananalo ang Ginebra"'' (When Ginebra Wins) sung by [[Bayang Barrios]], ''Kapag Natatalo ang Ginebra'' (When Ginebra Loses), sung by himself. The latest was "Yan ang Aming Barangay" right after the 2007 Philippine Cup championship. |
|||
*Ginebra is the first of only two teams to have ever come back from a 1-3 deficit in a best-of seven series. They did it back in the 1991 First Conference against Shell. Purefoods was the other team to do so; they accomplished the feat against Alaska in the semifinals of the 2005-2006 Philippine Cup. |
|||
*With the addition of [[Ronald Tubid]] in the lineup, their tandem of [[Mark Caguioa]] and [[Jayjay Helterbrand]] which is known as "Fast and the Furious" became a trio of "The Fast, the Furious, and the Fearless" due to Tubid's penetration style of play. |
|||
*Ginebra's sweep of Red Bull in the 2008 Fiesta Conference Semifinals was only the 3rd sweep in league history, the first in franchise history and the first one in 16 years. Also, Ginebra started with a 1-7 record early in the conference but still managed to enter the finals for the 17th time. |
|||
*Ginebra's 8th PBA title in the 2008 Fiesta Conference marked the 4th time that they won the most PBA titles while the league's seasons from 2004-2008 is aired by ABC/[[TV5]], thus becoming its first and last champions covered. (2004,2008 Fiesta Conference & 2005, 2007 Philippine Cup) |

 IAEA members | |
| Formation | 1957 |
|---|---|
| Headquarters | Vienna, Austria |
Membership | 144 member states |
Official language | Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish |
Secretary General | Mohamed ElBaradei |
| Website | http://www.iaea.org |
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is an international organization that seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear energy and to inhibit its use for military purposes. Though established independently of the United Nations under its own international treaty (the IAEA Statute), the IAEA reports to both the General Assembly and the Security Council.
The IAEA has its headquarters in Vienna, Austria. Two "Regional Safeguards Offices" are located in Toronto, Canada; and Tokyo, Japan. The IAEA has two liaison offices, located in New York, USA; and Geneva, Switzerland. In addition, it has laboratories in Seibersdorf and Vienna, Austria; Monaco; and Trieste, Italy.
It was established as an autonomous organization on July 29, 1957. In 1953, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower envisioned the creation of this international body to control and develop the use of atomic energy, in his "Atoms for Peace" speech before the UN General Assembly. The organization and its Director General, Mohamed ElBaradei, were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize announced on 7 October 2005.
History
The IAEA serves as an intergovernmental forum for scientific and technical co-operation in the peaceful use of nuclear technology worldwide. The IAEA's programmes encourage the development of the peaceful applications of nuclear technology, provide international safeguards against its misuse, and facilitate the application of safety measures in its use. IAEA expanded its nuclear safety efforts in response to the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
The IAEA was headed by Hans Blix from 1981 to 1997. The current head of the organization is the Egyptian Mohamed ElBaradei. At the 49th General Conference, ElBaradei was confirmed as Director General until 2009.
The IAEA's mission is guided by the interests and needs of Member States, strategic plans and the vision embodied in the IAEA Statute (see below). Three main pillars - or areas of work - underpin the IAEA's mission: Safety and Security; Science and Technology; and Safeguards and Verification.
The Agency and Director General Mohamed ElBaradei were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005. In Dr. ElBaradei's speech he stated that only 1% of the money spent on developing new weapons would be enough to feed the entire world and that, if we hope to escape self-destruction, then nuclear weapons should have no place in our collective conscience, and no role in our security. Nobel Lecture.
Structure and function
The IAEA is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN). The IAEA is not under direct control of any UN body, but reports to both the General Assembly and the Security Council; unlike most other specialized agencies, it does not do most of its work with ECOSOC. The IAEA’s structure and function is defined by its founding document: the IAEA’s Statute (see below). The IAEA has three main bodies: the Board of Governors, the General Conference, and the Secretariat.
The Board of Governors is one of two policy making bodies of the IAEA. The Board consists of 13 members designated by the outgoing Board and 22 members elected by the General Conference. The outgoing Board designates the ten members who are the most advanced in atomic energy technology and the remaining three most advanced members from any of the following areas that are not represented by the first ten: North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Africa, Middle East and South Asia, South East Asia, the Pacific, and the Far East. These members are designated for one year terms. The General Conference elects 22 members from the remaining nations to two year terms. Eleven are elected each year. The 22 elected members must also represent a stipulated geographic diversity (Statute). The current Board members are: Albania, Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, the People's Republic of China, Croatia, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Iraq, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States of America, (IAEA Board of Governors 2007–2008).
The Board, in its five yearly meetings, is responsible for making most of the policy of the IAEA. The Board makes recommendations to the General Conference on IAEA activities and budget, is responsible for publishing IAEA standards and appoints the Director General subject to General Conference approval (IAEA Fundamentals 2005). Board members each receive one vote. Budget matters require a two-thirds majority. All other matters require only a simple majority. The simple majority also has the power to stipulate issues that will thereafter require a two-thirds majority. Two-thirds of all Board members must be present to call a vote (IAEA Board of Governors 1989).
The General Conference (GC) is the highest policymaking body of the IAEA. The GC is made up of all 144 member states. The GC meets once a year, typically in September, to approve the actions and budgets passed on from the Board of Governors. The GC also approves the nominee for Director General and requests reports from the Board on issues in question (Statute). Each member receives one vote. Issues of budget, Statute amendment and suspension of a member’s privileges require a two- thirds majority and all other issues require a simple majority. Similar to the Board, the GC can, by simple majority, designate issues to require a two- thirds majority. The GC elects a President at each annual in order to facilitate an effective meeting. The President only serves for the duration of the session (Statute).
The main function of the GC is to serve as a forum for debate on current issues and policies. Any of the other IAEA organs, the Director General, the Board and member states can table issues to be discussed by the GC (IAEA Primer). This function of the GC is almost identical to the General Assembly of the United Nations.
The Secretariat is the professional and general service staff of the IAEA. The Secretariat is headed by the Director General. The Director General, currently Dr. Mohamed ElBaradei, is responsible for enforcement of the actions passed by the Board of Governors and the GC. The Director General is selected by the Board and approved by the GC for renewable four year terms. The Director General oversees six departments that do the actual work in carrying out the policies of the IAEA: Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Safety and Security, Nuclear Sciences and Applications, Safeguards, Technical Cooperation, and Management. Dr. ElBaradei, together with the IAEA as an institution, won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize.
The IAEA budget is two-part. The regular budget funds most activities of the IAEA and is assessed to each member nation (€280 million in 2007). The Technical Cooperation Fund is funded by voluntary contributions with a general target in the $70 million range.
The process of joining the IAEA is fairly simple. A State must notify the Director General of its desire to join. The Director then submits the request to the Board for consideration. If the State is approved by the Board, the GC must then consider the State. When the State receives final approval for membership, it must then submit its signed acceptance of the IAEA’s Statute. The State is considered a member when its acceptance letter is deposited; the IAEA’s other members are subsequently notified of the new member.
In 2004 IAEA developed a Programme of Action for Cancer Therapy (PACT). PACT responds to the needs of developing countries to establish, improve, or expand radiotherapy treatment programs and is raising funds to help countries save lives and reduce suffering of cancer victims.[1]
The IAEA exists to pursue “safe, secure and peaceful uses of nuclear sciences and technology” (Pillars 2005). The IAEA pursues this mission with three main functions: inspections of existing nuclear facilities to ensure peaceful use, information and standards to ensure the stability of nuclear facilities, and as a hub for the sciences seeking peaceful applications of nuclear technology.
