Question

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is located at which of the following places?

• A. Vienna
• B. Geneva
• C. Rome
• D. Paris

Hint:

This Swiss city also hosts the WHO and ILO headquarters.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The question asks for the headquarters city of UNCTAD. Checking the options one by one helps confirm the answer.

1. Vienna: Home to agencies like the IAEA and UNIDO, but not UNCTAD.
2. Geneva: UNCTAD, set up in 1964 as a UN body to promote trade and development for poorer nations, runs its secretariat from Geneva, alongside other UN offices like WHO and ILO.
3. Rome: This city hosts the FAO and the World Food Programme, unrelated to UNCTAD.
4. Paris: Paris is home to UNESCO, not UNCTAD.

Since UNCTAD's secretariat sits in Geneva, option B is the correct answer.
