The United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG, French: Office des Nations Unies à
Genève) in Geneva, Switzerland, is one of the four major offices[a] of the
United Nations where numerous different UN agencies have a joint presence. The
main UNOG administrative offices are located inside the Palais des Nations
complex, which was originally constructed for the League of Nations between 1929
and 1938.

Besides United Nations administration, the Palais des Nations also hosts the
offices for a number of programmes and funds such as the United Nations
Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the United Nations Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the United Nations Economic
Commission for Europe (ECE).

The United Nations and its specialized agencies, programmes and funds may have
other offices or functions hosted outside the Palais des Nations, normally in
office spaces provided by the Swiss Government.

UN specialised agencies and other UN entities with offices in Geneva hold
bi-weekly briefings at the Palais des Nations, organized by the United Nations
Information Service at Geneva.

UNOG produces an annual report[1] where it lists all major events and activities
that happened through a year.

The United Nations Library & Archives Geneva is part of the UNOG.
