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 President of Tunisia to Present Ancient Mosaic to U.N. 
Caption Description President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia will present this week to Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld an ancient mosaic masterpiece as a gift of Tunisia to the United Nations. The 1700-year-old work, depicting the cycle of the year, was discovered in the winter of 1939-1940 at Haidra, Tunisia. The mosaic is a square floor, now displayed as a mural, measuring 11x11 feet.
Here, the mosaic is being moved to the Delegates' North Lounge at UN Headquarters, where it will be mounted on a wall just inside the entrance.
