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.

Headline Replica of Oldest Known Peace Treaty Presented to UN by Turkey

Caption Description A replica of the Kadesh Peace Treaty -- dating from c. 1259 B.C., the earliest peace treaty whose text is known to have survived -- was presented to Secretary-General U Thant, by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, Ihsan Sabri Caglayangil.
The replica -- a gift from the Government and people of Turkey to the United Nations -- is of the original treaty signed by Hattusillis III, King of the Hittites, and Ramses II, King of the Egyptians. The clay tablet, which records the text in cuneiform script, was found in 1906 in central Anatolia on the site of the old Hittite capital, Hattusas (the present Bogazkoy). The replica was made by Sadi Calik, a sculptor and lecturer at the Istanbul College of Fine Arts.
