To provide a specific answer, I would need a list of the options you're considering. The United Nations has a number of specialized agencies, and without knowing which ones you're asking about, I cannot accurately say which is not a specialized agency of the UN.

In general, specialized agencies of the United Nations are autonomous organizations working with the UN and each other through the coordinating machinery of the Economic and Social Council. Examples of specialized agencies include the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Some organizations that are commonly confused with UN specialized agencies include entities like Doctors Without Borders (MSF) or the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which are independent, non-governmental organizations and not specialized agencies of the United Nations.

If you can provide the list of options you're choosing from, I can identify which is not a specialized agency of the UN.
