The authors study the geometry of homogeneous spaces with certain restrictions concerning its curvature. Ten theorems are proved. In particular, each normal homogeneous space has non-negative curvature and every minimal curve in it extends to a geodesic which is the orbit of a one-parameter group of isometries. Also, each locally compact group with bi-invariant inner metric of curvature bounded below is a direct product of a compact group with bi-invariant metric of non-negative curvature and a finite dimensional vector space. A metric space admits transitive group of Wolf translations iff it is isometric to a group with bi-invariant metric.
