Weekly overview of developments in multilateral Geneva on COVID-19

by Dr. Olaf Wientzek, Diana Peters, Sarah Ultes

(27 March - 2 April)

The „Geneva Telegram“ analyses current developments in the multilateral organiza-tions in Geneva relative to current events. During these weeks, it focuses on devel-opments in the Geneva-based organizations related to COVID-19. The pandemic does not only have a health dimension but also substantial consequences for the future of the global economy, world trade, work, flight and migration, the humanitarian sector and human rights. It also affects the multilateral system as a whole.
