The Palais des Nations in Geneva - European headquarters of the UN
The Palais des Nations has been the European headquarters of the United Nations since 1966. After the headquarters in New York, this is the second most important location of the
UN
worldwide. The building complex is located on the grounds of Ariana Park in Geneva and was built between 1929 and 1936. Between 1933 and 1946 it served as the headquarters of the League of Nations, which had previously resided in the Palais Wilson, also in Geneva, since its foundation in 1920.
In 1926, the officials of the League of Nations announced an international architectural competition for a new administrative center. However, despite the large number of 377 submissions, the jury was ultimately unable to decide on a winner. Therefore, its members selected five architects from among all participants to work together to develop a new design. These were Julien Flegenheimer (Switzerland), Camille Lefèvre (France), Henri-Paul Nénot (France), Carlo Broggi (Italy) and Joseph Vago (Hungary). They had previously submitted the most favored designs.
The current building was finally built in the late neoclassical style on the basis of their ideas. When the foundation stone was laid on September 7, 1929, a capsule was buried that contained a list of all member states, a copy of the founding act of the League of Nations and coins from all countries. The various League of Nations sections, starting with the Secretariat, moved in in several stages from 1933 up to 1936. The materials and furniture for the interior, most of which has been preserved to this day, were also donated by the League of Nations members.

International Committee of the Red Cross Headquarters

Highlight • Monument

CICR / ICRC headquarters, Geneva
Geneva's history of international cooperation is unrivalled by any other city.
When a small group of Genevans founded the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 1863, the foundations were laid for the first international humanitarian agreement, the Geneva Convention of 1864.
In 1919, the victorious states of the First World War decided to set up the League of Nations and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Geneva, giving the city a stronger and more dynamic platform for dialogue and cooperation.
When it came to finding a seat for the major international organisations after the Second World War, Geneva was again chosen. Today, Geneva is home to important players in the health sector, such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
