Geneva, although a relatively small city with no more than 350,000 inhabi­ tants, probably has a higher concentration of international organizations, both governmental and non-governmental, than any other location in the world. There is a hectic international life with an unceasing round of conferences, meetings and negotiations on virtually the entire spectrum of human activity and most fields of international co-operation. The aim of the present publication is to provide all those directly involved or interested in international activities and international organizations with an up­ to-date guide that can help them find their way through the labyrinth of interna­ tional institutions and issues.
