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 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 U.N. Receives Japanese Tapestry Gift 
Caption Description A silk brocade portrait of Buddha, estimated to cost ten thousand dollars, was presented to the U.N. on behalf of some seventy million Japanese of the Buddhist faith. Made by the famed Japanese religious artist Jinji Endo, the brocade took three years to complete. The offering was made in order to convey, on behalf of the Buddhist population of Japan, their concurrence with the high ideals embodied in the Charter of the United Nations.
The presentation took place in the office of Mr. Benjamin Cohen, right, Assistant Secretary-General for Public Information, who acted for the Secretary-General in accepting the tapestry. Left is Mr. Takanawo Yoshida, Representative of Japan Buddhist Worshippers Association.
