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.

Headline The Dag Hammarskjöld Library Building at UN Headquarters 
Caption Description The Dag Hammarskjöld Auditorium is at the concourse or first basement level of the new Dag Hammarskjöld Library building at United Nations Headquarters. It is 47 feet by 42, is equipped for still and motion picture projection, sound recording, lectures and intimate musical recitals. Provision has been made for future installation of simultaneous interpretation systems. Its 13 rows of seats are upholstered in turquoise and are spaced widely enough apart to allow passage without causing the occupants to rise. The ceiling and wall paneling are of walnut and good acoustics are ensured by the ""articulated"" ceiling and by aluminum mesh between the walnut slats which line the wall.    
A view of the Auditorium.
