The flags outside UN Headquarters are raised manually by UN Security Officers every weekday morning at approximately 8 am and lowered every weekday at around 4 pm, except in cases of bad weather. The 193 Member States of the United Nations are each assigned a flagpole, organized in English alphabetical order from north to south at UN Headquarters. In 2015, its non-member observer States (Holy See and the State of Palestine) got assigned their own flagpoles. On weekends, only the UN flag is raised. However, during UN General Assembly high-level week held in September each year, the flags of the UN and the world remain flying around the clock. A view of UN Security Officers in the process of raising flags at UN Headquarters.
