# Talk:United Nations Secretariat Building

I'm sure the building is not from Le Corbusier. He did the competition design, and a struggle to build it but cannot be considered an L C building.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.136.102.221 (talk) 13:59, 6 August 2011 (UTC) 

This passage: "As part of the UN complex, the building is designated as being located in international territory, and is not subject to the laws of the city, New York State or the United States" contradicts the article on the United Nations Headquarters: "The site of the United Nations Headquarters has extraterritoriality status, typical of embassies.[2] This affects some law enforcement where UN rules override the laws of New York City, but does not give immunity to crimes that take place there. In addition, the United Nations Headquarters remains under the jurisdiction and laws of the United States".
Does anybody know the precise nature of the rule of law within the United Nations complex and how it relates to local, state and federal laws? 213.121.151.174 (talk) 23:05, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

I have deleted the "is not subject to the laws of the city, New York State or the United States" and have added a link to the Agreement between the UN and the US. The UN may be international territory, but it is not a sovereign nation.--Nyctc7 (talk) 15:53, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Some facts in this section either seem dubious or otherwise not in accordance with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. It possibly has an Anglo-American focus. I believe this section needs to be nominated to be checked for its neutrality. This is obviously a sensitive issue as it deals with a living person. I also added a citation needed tag and split the paragraph in question from the History subsection.128.208.150.188 (talk) 04:28, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the modification. Substantial is a better word.49.183.64.251 (talk) 14:26, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

You're welcome. Sorry for not making myself clearer before - I thought "serious" was not quite the right word, which is why I reverted it initially, but the right word slipped my mind for a few minutes. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:40, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
