The quickest way to renovate would be to remove that godawful gun-tied-in-nazis sculpture.

I have heard about that sculpture. Do you have a picture of it?

Some conceptual proposals for new U.N. themes:

The UN is thoroughly useless. An institution that puts Syria on a commission regarding Human Rights has no sense whatsoever.

As to the building itself - it is unimpressive, one of the post-war shoebox designs. It looks like it has not changed in appearance or amenities since the 1970's at most. In that sense, it is like Soviet-built buildings I saw in Russia.

Demolish it, kick the UN out - if they want to meet somewhere, let them meet in one of the states they so prize - like Libya.

Regards, Ivan
