PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Wireless internet is available in all meeting rooms. Note that electrical power plugs and sockets are unique to Switzerland within the UNECE region (type J, three-pin, 230 V, 50 Hz), and respectively require an adaptor, though slim two-pin plugs (type C) will fit.

Food and beverages (except water) are strictly forbidden in the Palais conference rooms.

You can drink tap water at the Palais. As no drinking water will be served in the meeting room, we encourage delegates to bring reusable bottles or containers for tap water. Please take extra care to avoid spilling water on desks and equipment.

Delegates are only allowed to enter the Palais with carry-on luggage, such as computer bags, rucksacks, and handbags. There is no luggage storage available at the Palais, and delegates remain responsible for the luggage they bring to the Palais throughout their stay.

Reminder: Prohibition of laser pointers in Switzerland

Laser pointers classified as 1M, 2, 2M, 3R, 3B, and 4 are banned on Swiss territory. Only class 1 laser pointers, which pose no health risk, are authorized. The term “laser pointer” refers to a small and light hand-held laser device that emits laser radiation to point out objects and locations. At UN Geneva, these devices are most commonly used for giving presentations. These laser pointers are considered dangerous and may be confiscated at customs and destroyed, regardless of their permissibility on airplanes. Swiss authorities emphasize that travellers found with these devices will be questioned by police and may face criminal charges. Please take care to avoid carrying such devices with you when travelling to Switzerland to avoid any travel disruptions.
