Historical Milestones
© Bibliothèque de Genève No other city has a richer history of international cooperation than Geneva. In 1863, a small group of Genevois created the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) which led to the first international humanitarian treaty, the Geneva Convention of 1864. In 1919, the city gained strength and momentum as a platform for dialogue and cooperation when the victorious states of World War I decided to establish the League of Nations and the International Labour Organization (ILO) there.

History through images
© Bibliothèque de Genève Few cities have as rich a history as Geneva in the field of international cooperation. At the end of the 19th century, with the creation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Geneva became the first center of multilateral diplomacy and remains, even today, its most active platform.  We invite you to discover this history through images from the archives of the international organizations based in Geneva.
