Memorial Plaque at the Wilson Palace in Geneva

Summary[edit]

Description
English: The flag of the United Nations (UN) flying over a plaque commemorating the role of US President Woodrow Wilson as the founder of the League of Nations at its first permanent headquarters with a picturesque view on Lake Geneva. It currently hosts the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and is still named after Wilson, although he has received growing criticism for being a supporter of racial segregation and white supremacy. Photo taken and uploaded for "Wiki Loves Switzerland 2020" as it highlights the Swiss tradition of hosting international and intergovernmental organisations.

Deutsch: Die Flagge der Vereinten Nationen über einer Gedenktafel für den US-Präsidenten Woodrow Wilson als Gründer des Völkerbundes, angebracht vor dem ersten permanenten Sitz des UN-Vorläufers mit prächtigem Blick auf den Genfersee. Der Palast beherbergt das Hauptquartier des Hohen Kommissars der Vereinten Nationen für Menschenrechte und ist immer noch nach Wilson benannt, obwohl dieser wegen seiner rassistischen Positionen und Politik zunehmend umstritten ist. Photo aufgenommen und hochgeladen im Rahmen von "Wiki Loves Switzerland", da es die Tradition der Schweiz als Gastgeberin internationaler Organisation illustriert.
