A view of the sun rising behind Long Island City and the sculpture, "Good Defeats Evil", by Zurab Tsereteli, in the north garden area of UN Headquarters. The sculpture depicts St. George slaying the dragon. The Dragon here is made from actual parts of a Soviet SS-20 and an American Pershing II nuclear missiles, and represents the specter of nuclear war. The sculpture was presented to the UN by the Soviet Union in 1990 and commemorates the dismantling of the missiles under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty signed 8 December, 1987 by Presidents Ronald Reagan of the United States and Mikhail Gorbachev of the Soviet Union.
A view of participants in the press briefing with co-signatories of the letter calling for a halt to arms transfers to Israel.

A detail of the “Non-Violence” or “Knotted Gun” sculpture by artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd on the UN Visitors Plaza.

Then Secretary-General Kofi Annan said about the sculpture in 1999, “It has enriched the consciousness of humanity with a powerful symbol that encapsulates, in a few simple curves, the greatest prayer of man; that which asks not for victory, but for peace.”
