In 1997, I was born and also the fact that a treaty to ban the use of anti-personnel mines was signed into action. It became known as the Ottawa Treaty, or the Mine Ban Treaty. At the same time, to encourage nations to sign on to the treaty and stop the use of landmines, the non-governmental organisation Handicap International commissioned Swiss sculptor Daniel Berset to create the Broken Chair to draw attention to the victims of mines.

The result was the 12 metre high and 5.5 tonne sculpture with its left leg broken in half that now stands over Place des Nations. It was initially only supposed to stay for three months, but now it has been there for nearly 20 years. There is little sign that it will be removed any time soon after it was recently renovated and has become a landmark of International Geneva. #geneva #visitgeneva #2021fashion #lifestyle #dubai #cabincrew Geneva chair
