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. Behind is a view of Picasso’s Guernica tapestry.
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.”

Headline Unveiling of a Portrait of the Late Dag Hammarskjöld by the Secretary-General 
Caption Description Secretary-General U Thant unveiled today a portrait of the late Dag Hammarskjöld at the north end of the Secretariat Lobby. The portrait, which is by the Swedish painter Bo Beskow, has been acquired by the United Nations through the generosity of the Ford Foundation and of Bonniers, the Swedish publishing house. The portrait measures 116 cm. x 130 cm. and represents many years' work by the painter, who was a close friend of the late Secretary-General. Mr. Beskow also painted the fresco in the Meditation Room and the mural in the Penthouse of the Dag Hammarskjöld Library.
Here Sergant Robert J. Herman of the UN Security and Safety Section, is seen drawing the curtains during the unveiling ceremony.
