The Venue

Situated where the Rhône River leaves Lac Léman and capital of the canton with the same name, Geneva is in the centre of Central Europe, making it not only a meeting point between France and Switzerland, but also a pivot to other parts of the continent.

The venue: the John Knox Centre, within walking distance of the UN

More than that, Geneva is truly global, with 40% of its inhabitants from different parts of the world and the city itself host to some 200 international organizations, including of course the United Nations European headquarters, the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), and the International Committee of the Red Cross/Red Crescent.

The Centre international réformé John Knox provides accommodation and lecture facilities to participants of the 2014 International Human Rights Program in peaceful surroundings within 10-20 minutes walk from the WHO, ILO, UN, Red Cross and most other international institutions
