UN Security Council, originally uploaded by Heraldk.

The site of the United Nation’s security council, this room is pretty cool to look at.

Here’s a quick rundown of what seats belong to who. The 15 seats around the horseshoe are for the delegates from the nations on the security council. The blue chairs behind them are for their advisors. The table in the middle is lower than the rest and is for people transcribing the events of the council. The red chairs on the sides are for all other members of the UN to sit in and listen to the council’s decisions.

The UN tour was probably one of my favourite parts of the New York trip. It was informative, interesting, and simply cool to check out.
