The Council Chamber at the Palais des Nations, UN Office at Geneva, has accommodated many important historical negotiations, including the Conference on Disarmament.

The splendor gold and sepia murals, painted by the Catalan artist José María Sert in 1936, depict human progress through health, technology, freedom and peace – all united by five colossal Dantesque figures (representing the world’s five continents) grasping each other’s hands in apocalyptical triumph at the dome of the ceiling.

On either side of the Chamber are two monumental bronze doors, with Latin inscriptions, one of them by Francisco Suárez (1548–1617), a highly influential philosopher and theologian of the Second Scholastic (or “Early Modern Scholasticism”).
