Photograph by David Coleman. The United Nations Headquarters in New York City is an enduring symbol of global diplomacy and international cooperation. Completed in 1952, the complex was designed by a team of architects led by Wallace Harrison, with input from Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer. The centerpiece, the 39-story Secretariat Building, is a sleek, rectangular tower of glass and marble that has become an iconic part of the Manhattan skyline. Located in the Turtle Bay neighborhood along the East River, the UN complex stands on international territory. It houses the principal organs of the UN, including the General Assembly and Security Council. The site is adorned with flags of all 193 member states, creating a colorful display of global unity. As the venue for numerous historic diplomatic meetings and decisions that have shaped world affairs, the UN Headquarters embodies the aspirations for world peace and international understanding. Its distinctive architecture and prominent location make it not only a center of global governance but also a significant New York City landmark and tourist attraction.
