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.

in the General Assembly Hall during the sixth day of the general debate of the General Assembly’s eightieth session.

The two murals were painted on the east and west walls of the Hall by Mr. Bruce Gregory, who studied for two years in Paris with Fernand Leger. Mr. Gregory painted this mural, which is cadmium orange, white and dark grey on a dark grey background, from sketches by Leger.
