Reinstatement of symbolic "Broken Chair" outside of U.N. Buildings
Date(s): 29 Mar 07 -29 Mar 07
Location: Geneva, Switzerland.
In September 1997, Handicap International unveiled the Broken Chair, a 12 meter high wooden sculpture in support of the global movement against landmines, outside of the Palais des Nations in Geneva. After a lengthy period of reconstruction during which the Chair was placed in storage, it will be reinstated as a reminder of the governments' commitment to fully universalize and adhere to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty.
