Pfeiffer	The UN was founded in San Francisco. The Rockefeller family donated land in New York City for a new headquarters. (There is a second UN headquarters in Geneva.)

Ronnie B T	That is because the United States was the most generous and built the building for them and paid 80% of the dues. I think it is time to take the building back over and send them overseas. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ender	What's wrong with it being in the USA? Why don't we build a UN boat and float it in International Waters or have it based out of Antartica? Would that be such a better Idea? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rex Rhino	You would have to know more about conspiracy theories to really understand that, but I heard recently that the ancient city of Babylon (in Iraq) is being set up with a communication trunk line so that the UN will be relocated there in the next decade or two. This is in preparation for the New World Order. Keep your eyes and ears open for this. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Researcher	In fact, it is not their only building. For example, the Vienna International Centre is the campus and building complex hosting United Nations organizations in Vienna, Austria. See the photo of their huge building complex: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7a/Vienna_International_Centre.jpg http://www.iaea.org/worldatom/Meetings/Guide/vic.shtml The United Nations Office at Geneva "The Palace of Nations" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:UN_building%2C_Genevra.jpg While the principal headquarters of the UN are in New York, there are major agencies located in Geneva, The Hague, Vienna, Montreal, Copenhagen, Bonn, and elsewhere. The UN buildings are not considered separate political jurisdictions,but do have certain aspects of sovereignty. For example, under agreements with their host countries the United Nations Postal Administration is allowed to issue postage stamps for local mailing. Since 1951 the New York office, since 1969 the Geneva office, and since 1979 the Vienna office have had their own issues. The United Nations Office at Geneva is the United Nations European headquarters. Prior to 1949, the United Nations used a variety of venues in London and New York State.

invisible_man_books	Because the US owns not just the building, it owns the UN. It practically gets to run it. If the members won't play along, which happens rarely, it refuses to pay its dues. But at least the rest of the world has a debating society. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
