Measures to address the UN Global Liquidity Crisis
In 2023, the UN faced its worst financial shortfall in years, with the lowest dues collection in five years and only 142 Member States paying in full. This led to a fragile financial outlook for 2024, prompting significant cost-saving measures.
As we move through 2025, these measures remain in place, as UNOG is operating with significant reductions of allotments of its approved budget. The United Nations Office at Geneva continues to implement strategic reductions in non-salary expenses while prioritizing the preservation of essential functions and core mandate. These ongoing efforts aim to enhance efficiency and ensure operational sustainability in the face of continued financial constraints.
Circulation routes during renovation works
The Palais des Nations is currently undergoing major renovation works which are scheduled to go on until 2025. During this time, some of the walkways inside the premises will be temporarily inaccessible. The map shows accessible walkways between and inside the buildings of the Palais.
Reminder on Smoking Policy
Staff and visitors of the Palais des Nations are reminded that smoking is restricted only to designated areas.
In addition to the health risks for all, a cigarette not properly extinguished can generate fires in contact with the vegetation. We count on your active support to keep the Palais and its occupants safe and secure.
