Brunswick Monument
The Brunswick Monument is a mausoleum built in 1879 in Geneva, Switzerland to commemorate the life of Charles II, Duke of Brunswick (1804 - 1873). He bequeathed his fortune to the city of Geneva in exchange for a monument to be built in his name, specifying that it be a replica of the Scaliger Tombs in Verona, Italy. It is located across the road from Geneva Lake

Henry Dunant Institute - Geneva
The venerable Henry Dunant Institute has undergone a metamorphosis. Founded in 1965 by the ICRC, the International Federation the then League and the Swiss Red Cross, the Institute has decided to shed its old skin to re emerge as the Henry Dunant Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue. It will nonetheless retain its premises in the magnificent villa on the banks of Lake Geneva, put at its disposal by the Geneva authorities.
Since its creation, the Institute has been devoted to research and training in the Movement's main fields of activity. However, the far-reaching changes that have taken place in the world since 1989 prompted the Institute's governing bodies to reflect on how it could and should adapt.
Dr Ernst A. Brugger, management consultant and member of the ICRC's Committee, oversaw the Institute's self-evaluation and transformation. He kindly agreed to answer a few questions for Red Cross, Red Crescent.
