- Abstract:
- The first building in Geneva designed to house an international organization, the Centre William Rappard has played host to the International Labour Office since it first opened its doors in 1926, and later to the General Agreement of Tariffs and Trade secretariat and to the World Trade Organization. "Centre William Rappard: Home of the World Trade Organization, Geneva" looks into the history of the building, its unique works of art and some of the colourful characters from its early years.
