The United Nations has resumed operations at its European headquarters located in Geneva, Switzerland. Earlier on Friday, the facility had been temporarily closed due to a security breach.
In an official statement, the UN reported, “Please be informed that the issue at the Palais des Nations has now been solved. All the access points have been reopened.”
A spokesperson provided clarification, stating that the closure had been prompted by a “perimeter intrusion” that occurred earlier on Friday morning.
The Palais des Nations building is a crucial center, housing the UN Human Rights Council and serving as a vital hub for diplomats, humanitarian workers, and government officials.
