TheUnited Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG,French:Office des Nations Unies à Genève) inGeneva, Switzerland, is one of the four major offices[a] of theUnited Nations where numerous different UN agencies have a joint presence. The main UNOG administrative offices are located inside thePalais des Nations complex, which was originally constructed for theLeague 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 theUnited Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), theUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and theUnited Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE).
