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 Security Council Chamber, United Nations Headquarters 
Caption Description The Security Council Chamber at United Nations headquarters in New York.
The Chamber was designed by Norwegian architect Arnstein Arneberg and is decorated by a mural, painted by Norwegian artist Per Krohg, in the colours and style reminiscent of a tapestry. Most of the original furnishings of the Chamber in 1952, as well as its renovation completed in 2013 under the Capital Master Plan (CMP) of the UN headquarters complex, are a gift of Norway to the United Nations.
