UN Reopens European Headquarters After Security Issue

The United Nations has reopened its European Headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland after shutting it earlier due to an intrusion.

“Please be informed that the issue at the Palais des Nations has now been solved.

All the access points have been reopened,” it said in a statement.

A spokesperson said the closure was due to a “perimeter intrusion” earlier on Friday morning.

The Palais des Nations building houses the UN Human Rights Council and is a hub for diplomats, humanitarian workers and state officials.
