The Permanent Mission is tasked with representing the Government of Cyprus at the United Nations Office at Geneva and all other international organisations and agencies based in Switzerland, such as the World Trade Organisation, the International Labour Organisation, the World Health Organisation, the International Telecommunications Union, the International Organisation for Migration, the InterParliamentary Union, as well as a multitude of others.
As part of this multilateral mandate, the Mission is responsible for all dealings and communications with these organisations as well as with the Permanent Missions of all other countries resident in Geneva.
Consequently, the scope of issues dealt with by the Permanent Mission is extremely broad and includes, inter alia, issues relating to human rights, disarmament, economic and trade affairs, humanitarian, health and labour affairs, intellectual property and the environment.
