Could someone cite their source that the UNOG is the European headquarters for the UN? Despite Geneva's office being larger, from what I can tell, UNOG and UNOV (Vienna) have equal standing one step below the main headquarters in New York City. -newkai | talk | contribs 15:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Important comment. Check the official site, also Palais des Nations. It is European headquarters in the sense of hosting official operations and conventions, not in hosting more offices. Anyway you may be right. Again see the official site or official document to be sure. For accuracy, I already took some wording from there. The statement that it is the headquarter I took from Palais des Nations article.--Connection 22:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I checked UNOG's website, and nowhere does it assert that it's the "European headquarters." It merely states that it's the "representative office" of the UN. Also, the PdN section of the UNOG website merely says that it's the "historic" home of UNOG. I have changed the articles to this effect. Wl219 01:02, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
