New York - United Nations

The United Nations headquarters overlook the East River and occupy 18 acres. Considered neutral--and not American--territory, the UN contains the Peace Bell, a gift from Japan, that hangs on a cypress pagoda, the Rose Garden, a Russian bronze statue and Reclining Figure, a 1982 bronze statue by Henry Moore. Delegates from the UN's 51 nations confer in the horseshoe-shaped Security Council and the larger General Assembly.
