Switzerland

There has been a Quaker presence in Geneva since the 1920s and the placing of the League of Nations headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland after formation in 1919.

QUNO Geneva works on programmes decided by Quakers and which have an international dimension.

The current focus of our work in Geneva is:

  • Disarmament and Peace,
  • Global Economic Issues,
  • Human Rights and Refugees.

QUNO has an informative and comprehensive website: http://www.quno.org/
