Personally - I always felt the UN HQs belonged in Putney, Vermont, the place I always wanted to go and be a postal clerk if there was ever a nuclear war because (1) nobody had any reason to ever want to target the place, (2) in a post-nuclear exchange world there would not be much mail to deliver, and (3) everyone gets along in Putney so maybe it'll rub off on anyone else who moves there.
The U.N. is a place where governments opposed to free speech demand to be heard.
However...YMMV...
