"The United Nations Organization"

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson chose Geneva as the headquarters of the League of Nations, the predecessor to the United Nations. Construction on the Palais des Nations, or Palace of Nations, began a decade later and continued until 1938. Peacefully nestled in heart of the picturesque Parc de l'Ariana, the Palais de Nations has been home to the United Nations Office in Geneva since 1946. As its name suggests, the Palace of Nations dedicates itself to aiding in global peace, security, human rights, disarmament, humanitarian aid, and economic and social development. It holds one of the most important international conference centers in the world, numbering over 7000 sessions per year. The chambers of this courtly ivory-white edifice are a place of iconic historic negotiations. Frequented by hundreds of thousands of delegates every year, the Palace of Nations is a striking torchbearer of diplomacy and world peace.
