Melissa Fleming, Spokesperson for the IAEA, today departs her position at the Agency after eight years in the role. She will now assume the role of Spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Geneva.
Having started at the IAEA in January 2001, she served through a dramatic era for the Agency, a time that included the run-up to the Iraq invasion in 2003, the IAEA winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005, and several nuclear verification challenges.
A successor to Ms. Fleming will be named in the coming months.
