Beschreibung
Geneva is intertwined with Europe's own. A small State on the banks of the Rhone which flows right down to the Mediterranean, Geneva has developed in rhythm with the trade customs and social, military and political upheavals of the times. It has experienced phases and periods which have shaped it deeply, making it the beacon for a humanism which led to the foundation, within its walls, of the International Committee of the Red Gross, and later to the establishment there of the headquarters of a number of international organisations.
