The current focus of our work lies in three main areas: we accompany the work of the newly established Human Rights Council - we publish information on its structural and operational setup and provide platforms for the multilateral debate, e.g. on the Right to Development.

The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) office in Geneva is part of the overall program "Dialogue on Globalization" since 2002. It observes and assists the work of the World Trade Organization (WTO), different UN-Organizations (International Labour Organization ILO, Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights OHCHR, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development UNCTAD) and the work of the United Nations Human Rights Council UNHRC. It was established in 1994 as, at the time, a media project assisting countries of the Global South in developing their media. FES Geneva works closely together with partners of the Geneva based international organizations, representatives of governments and members of the diplomatic missions, parliaments, parties, NGOs, trade unions, journalists and academic institutions.
