Meetings and conferences are at the heart of UN Geneva's activities. This is where the international community comes together to work on topics that move our lives, from health to human rights, humanitarian aid to peace. Member States meet to discuss, to argue, and to agree. The UN puts these agreements on paper. They will later impact national laws and thus, life realities of citizens across the globe.  

Last year, 39% of meetings were held with interpretation, and between 70 and 80 million words in official documents and publications are translated every year, making the work of the United Nations widely accessible.
