The United Nations Headquarters are said to be in New York. However, the land that the building sits on does not legally belong to any country as there was an agreement globally saying that this land could not be claimed by any one country, but belongs to the United Nations. This office in New York is the most commonly known and the main place of meeting.
The United Nations has multiple subsidiary offices located globally around the world including continents such as: Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Middle East and Asia. The largest offices are located in New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi. In total, there are around 44, 000 workers either directly with the UN or working with an organisation that associates with the UN. In the picture below, it shows the many offices and headquarter locations, and the subsidiary offices.
Main Regions
Since May 2014, there have been five regional groups internationally in the United Nations. This has made it easier to assign various roles to each region, and also manage each region. Below is a table showing the region, how many people are in it, and each regions general role (Kiribati is not included in the numbers below).
Both of the diagrams above help people to have a better understanding of the five regions around the world, but the colour coordinated seats on the graph on the left show the total amount of people belonging to the UN, and additionally, the people from each region represented in the UN.
