UN Reopens Its European Headquarters After Security Incident

The United Nations reopened its European headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, after closing it earlier on Friday due to an unspecified security issue. The organization stated in a release: "Please be informed that the issue at the Palace of Nations has now been resolved. All entry points have reopened." A spokesperson later told Reuters that "the closure was due to a breach incident in the vicinity of the headquarters earlier on Friday." The Palace of Nations building houses the UN Human Rights Council and serves as a center for diplomats and humanitarian workers.
