Geneva: Ukraine Foundation’s Vice Chairman, Louis L. Voiron addressed the Geneva Forum
On December 11, our Vice Chairman Louis L. Voiron adressed the Geneva Forum, an event held since 2001 across UN headquarters and institutions throughout the city, to help chart new paths for sustaining International Geneva’s mission through innovative partnerships and deeper private-sector engagement.
In his intervention, “Geneva’s Relevance in an Age of Empire: Pragmatic Steps Toward Peace in Ukraine,” he reflected on how today’s geopolitical landscape is shaped less by competing visions within a shared order and more by the return of imperial logic—an evolution with profound implications for Ukraine’s security. He argued that, in a moment when global fragmentation is becoming increasingly plausible, Geneva offers unique assets for pragmatic diplomacy, including its neutral ground, convening power, and capacity to incubate concrete pilot projects that can anchor trust.
Ukraine Foundation is grateful to the Geneva Forum for hosting Ukraine Foundation, to FAGI and to the Swiss Confederation for their steadfast support in hosting this important gathering. Their commitment ensures that Geneva remains not only a historic center of multilateralism, but a living engine for creative, solutions-oriented engagement at a time when it is urgently needed.
