On 6 June 2009, the entrance to the Palais des Nations was graced with a monumental fresco by the Swiss artist, Hans Erni. Referred to in Greek as “permanent movement” (“ta panta rei”), the two ceramic panels, installed on each side of the entrance to the Palais, symbolize the struggle for peace and hope of peace, freedom and social justice for all peoples of the planet.
