Why is it not being held at the Palais des Nations, the UN Headquarters in Europe, where must UN conferences take place?
This is not a normal UN conference. First of all, participation is by invitation of the organizers; so, not all UN member states are expected to come, only those already involved in the Agencys work or prepared to provide practical support in the near future. Normally UNRWA meets its major stakeholders twice a year in Jordan. This is an extraordinary event, which Switzerland is paying for. That is why the meeting will be in Genevas International Conference Centre.
