Visit to the Vienna International Centre

On November 3,2022, the International Business group had a guided tour at the Vienna International Centre. The Vienna International Centre is besides New York, Geneva, and Nairobi one of the four official seats of the United Nations and has been the home to numerous international organizations since its opening on August the 23rd 1979. It has a unique design which was created by the Austrian architect Johann Staber. The UN-building belongs to the City of Vienna and the United Nations pay a monthly rent of only 7 cents. There are about 5000 employees from 125 countries.  The 6 main languages that are spoken at the UN are English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and Arabic.

The reasons why the UNO came to Vienna, was because of its long tradition of neutrality and its geographical location in the middle of Europe. The Vienna International Centre is like a small state within Vienna with its own rules and regulations. It was a very interesting visit.
