Staff is advised that a demonstration by various anti-globalisation groups opposing the holding of the World Economic Forum in Davos is planned in Geneva on Saturday 31 January 2009 from 14.00 onwards. Demonstrators are expected to assemble at the Rue du Mont-Blanc, in the vicinity of the Cornavin main railway station, from where they are expected to descend into the city center and "rues basses" or alternatively move in direction of the World Trade Organization.
Threat assessments vary according to their sources and no reliable estimates exist about the number of participants. It is to be noted however that similar demonstrations held in Geneva in the past have always been violent and destructive. It is therefore recommended to avoid unnecessary trips to the city center and other possibly affected areas as well as to avoid parking vehicles in the city of Geneva or areas surrounding the WTO on 31/01/2009.
