Formerly, the position was known as the "Representative of the United States to the European Office of the United Nations" [4] . The United Nations changed the nomenclature from "European Office" to "UN Office at Geneva (UNOG)" in 1966. [5] Further, Geneva is the home of many UN-affiliated international organizations which are not technically part of the United Nations, as well as many important international organizations entirely independent of the UN, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
