has the distinction of claiming<br/>
both <br/>
that the site of united nations headquarters is united states territory<br/>
&<br/>
that the land the building is on is a declared international zone belonging to all member <br/>
states in perpetuity<br/>
<br/>
if all that is correct<br/>
or even if not<br/>
it sounds to me like so much other diplomatic & foreign owned real estate<br/>
but just with a ceremonial post office etc included in this case<br/>

&gt; I&#39;ve read in several places that the UN headquarters in New York is<br/>

&gt; sovereignty of that parcel to international authorities? Does the<br/>
&gt; state of New York recognize this? How about the City of New York?<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Even though I&#39;ve seen this written in several places (just google<br/>
&gt; &quot;United Nations&quot; and &quot;international territory&quot;), it sounds fishy to<br/>
&gt; me. If you committed a crime at the UN headquarters, would you be<br/>
&gt; tried by an international court? That doesn&#39;t make sense.<br/>
