( Geneva)
Coordinates 46°12'N, 6°09'E 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[1] and the Red Cross.[2] 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). [3] The word Geneva is of Celtic origin, and the city was later mentioned in Latin texts with the spelling Genava.[citations needed] It has been transformed by the speakers of other languages. Thus, it is Geneva in English and pronounced /d??'ni?v?/, French Genève IPA&_160;[??n?v], German Genf (help·info) [g?nf], Italian Ginevra [d?i'ne?vra], and Romansh Genevra.
