Seat at the UN

Dead center in the row with France, Russia and Spain (alphabetically in french). Hall of human rights council. Ceiling called ocean of harmony by a spanish artist. Alliance of Nations didn't have a US representative until Obama.


The third picture is of the main conference room in the old palace which was originally the building for the League of Nations back before the 2nd World War. Today its 450 seats is considered small but regularly holds the Conference of Disarmernment and therefore can rarely be shown. Many main conflicts signed in this room. This picture is of Lincoln freeing the slaves. Many of the artwork and features of the buildings are gifts from member countries.
