Geneva is the second-most
populous city in Switzerland (after Zürich) and
is the most populous city of Romandy (the French-speaking part
of Switzerland).
Situated where the Rhône River exits Lake Geneva (French
Lac Léman),
it is the capital of the Republic and Canton of Geneva.
Geneva is widely regarded as a global city, mainly because of
the presence of
numerous international organizations, including the headquarters
of many of the
agencies of the United Nations and the Red Cross.
It is also the place where the Geneva Conventions were signed,
which chiefly concern
the treatment of wartime non-combatants and prisoners of war.
A 2007 survey by Mercer Consulting found Geneva to have the second-highest
quality of living in the world (narrowly outranked by Zürich).
