What meetings, conferences and other events take place at the Palais des Nations?

Most meetings taking place at the Palais des Nations are organized by one of the Geneva-based UN entities. Among many others, the sessions of the Human Rights Council and the Conference on Disarmament are held at the Palais. The World Health Assembly and the International Labour Conference are equally carried out here every year. 

Thanks to its excellent facilities and its location at the center of Geneva, one of the hubs for global governance, numerous other meetings of global importance have been organized at the Palais des Nations, such as the negotiations on a global plastics treaty.

The UN journal gives an overview of upcoming meetings at UN Geneva (and other duty stations).

Besides these official, intergovernmental meetings, UN Geneva, Permanent Missions and affiliated NGOs organize a variety of events, many of whom are publicly accessible. An overview of these events can be found on our dedicated events page.
