United Nations Office at Geneva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) is the European headquarters of the United Nations. It is located in the Palais des Nations building constructed for the League of Nations between 1929 and 1938 at Geneva in Switzerland.
Besides United Nations administration it also hosts the bureaucracies for a number of specialized agencies such as the International Labour Organization, the World Health Organization and the International Computing Centre.
The United Nations and its Specialized Agencies may have other offices or functions hosted outside the Palais des Nations, normally in office spaces provided by the Swiss Government.
