HI Yoga Nations is a free yoga course, accessible and open to all, under Broken Chair, on the Place des Nations in Geneva. Between May and October, eleven yoga sessions are offered twice a month on Tuesdays from 12:00 to 1:00. To participate, all you need to do is bring a yoga mat, a bottle of water and a comfortable outfit. Cancellation in case of bad weather.

 

The first session will take place on Tuesday, May 7th. The next courses will be held on Tuesdays, May 21th, June 4th and 18th, July 16th and 30th, August 13th and 27th, September 3rd and October 1st and 15th, 2019, from 12:00 to 1:00.

 

The courses will be given in turn by two HI employees, who will offer a pleasant and adapted practice at all levels. They will be equipped with a headset and a sound system to be heard by all. The courses are held in English and French. 

 

Well-being of body and mind in a symbolic place

 

The objectives of this action are to meet the public at a symbolic place in international Geneva, under Broken Chair, spokesman for HI's fight against explosive weapons and violence inflicted on populations during conflicts. It is also an opportunity to practice a sport that aims at the well-being of body and mind, in complete safety, in the face of the UN, while others around the world do not have the chance to live in a place where there is peace and where they can move safely.

Lithuania's dangerous step back : plans to abandon cluster munition ban

As Lithuania plans to withdraw from the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, we express deep concern and strongly urge Lithuania to reconsider this move. No State Party has ever withdrawn from the Convention since its adoption in Dublin on May 30, 2008. Lithuania’s move will set a detrimental precedent for the convention and for international humanitarian law more broadly.

Der Broken Chair – das Symbol von Handicap International – erhält ein neues Gesicht

Der Broken Chair ist ein Denkmal mit grossem Bekanntheitsgrad. Aber was stellt er dar? Handicap International nimmt die Restaurierung zum Anlass, an seine Symbolkraft zu erinnern: den Kampf gegen den Einsatz von Explosivwaffen gegen die Zivilbevölkerung. Den ganzen Juli über wird am Broken Chair gearbeitet.
