ILC security arrangements

As the International Labour Conference takes place in the United Nations Geneva headquarters building, the Palais des Nations, as well as in the ILO headquarters building, participants at the Conference must respect the security requirements in force for entry to the ILO, and those for entry to the United Nations. The latter have been upgraded recently, and are still being developed. Up to the minute information on requirements will be made available here. The two Conference sites are ten minutes’ walk from each other, and are also linked by a shuttle bus service.

In all events, it will be necessary to obtain a security badge to enter the two buildings. Delegates to the International Labour Conference are able to register and collect their badges at the ILO Pavilion, which is situated near the main vehicle access gate to ILO grounds, on route des Morillons, provided that the Office has received their credentials. For this, see Registration. Badges must be worn visibly at all times. The United Nations security guards may make spot checks on participants, who must also carry national identity documents, with a photograph, in confirmation of their entry badges.

Visitors to the International Labour Conference may be issued with special visitors’ badges on presentation, at the ILO Pavilion, of a national identity document with a photograph. Visitor’s badges are valid for access to the Palais des Nations only if they are accompanied by a national identity document, which may be kept as security at the entry gate to the premises, and redeemed when exiting the site.

For access to the Palais des Nations, visitors must use the dedicated visitors’ shuttle bus (specially marked). This will depart from the ILO and will drop visitors off at the main Palais des Nations gate, where they will pass through United Nations security, prior to admission to the United Nations premises.
