日内瓦,被誉为“和平之都”,有史以来一直是外交和国际关系的场所。该市是联合国系统最大的枢纽之一,也是最繁忙的会议中心。每天都会做出影响世界各地人们生活的决定。 仅在2022 年,就有约 8,000 次会议在万国宫举行,讨论的主题覆盖了裁军、人权、健康或国际贸易等各个领域。

从历史上看,“国际日内瓦”不仅因国际联盟的存在(被广泛认为是联合国的前身),而且还得益于红十字会和其他非政府组织的发展,这些组织是由当地的慈善家们设立的,以及国际电信联盟(ITU,1865年在伯尔尼成立,于1948年迁至日内瓦)等组织的支持。ITU是最早成立的旨在促进跨国技术合作的机构之一,现在是联合国旗下的专门机构。

如今,日内瓦拥有大约40个国际组织、180个常驻代表团和400多个非政府组织。联合国家族中很多机构都把日内瓦作为他们的总部所在地。除了总部设在这里的联合国机构外,大多数联合国基金、计划和机构在瑞士都设有区域办事处或联络处。它们共同构成了“日内瓦联合国”的活力所在。

总部设在日内瓦的联合国系统实体

日内瓦联合国办事处(UNOG)是UN Geneva的核心,位于距市中心几公里的国际联合大厦内。UNOG是联合国秘书处的一部分,负责采取一切必要措施促进会员国之间的对话:维护会议设施并提供会议服务(如口译、技术支持、编制和分发文件等),确保会议场所安全,将讨论和决策公之于众。日内瓦办事处是联合国在纽约以外仅有的三个重要行政办事处之一,另外两个是内罗毕维也纳

内瓦设有多个联合国机构的总部,使该城成为卫生、人权、难民和移民、裁军等不同议题的中心。

日内瓦经常举行各方冲突谈判,通常由秘书长指定的高级联合国官员领导。例如,叙利亚问题特使就驻扎在日内瓦,不知疲倦地将叙利亚内战各方带到谈判桌前,试图达成和平协议。

联合国体系的另一个重要组成部分是其五个经济委员会,遍布世界各地,作为各自地区社会经济发展的“智囊团”。欧洲经济委员会(ECE)设在万国宫内。

此外,联合国系统内的几个研究机构,例如致力于司法、社会发展或裁军,都设在瑞士城市。
