CICR / ICRC headquarters, Geneva
Geneva's history of international cooperation is unrivalled by any other city.
When a small group of Genevans founded the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 1863, the foundations were laid for the first international humanitarian agreement, the Geneva Convention of 1864.
In 1919, the victorious states of the First World War decided to set up the League of Nations and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Geneva, giving the city a stronger and more dynamic platform for dialogue and cooperation.
When it came to finding a seat for the major international organisations after the Second World War, Geneva was again chosen. Today, Geneva is home to important players in the health sector, such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
