This is getting to be dark humor.

We could get a win win out of this if the UN voted to leave NY and the US!

That’s not right because it’s in effect like an embassy. OTOH, the UN is a bunch of lib weenies and are all behind totalitarian COVID measures, so....Meh, who cares ?

Although it is in New York City, the land occupied by the United Nations Headquarters and the spaces of buildings that it rents are under the sole administration of the United Nations and not the U.S. government. They are technically extraterritorial through a treaty agreement with the U.S. government.

However, in exchange for local police, fire protection, and other services, the United Nations agrees to acknowledge most local, state, and federal laws.

Ridiculous...Let them do a conference call. It’s the 21st century. Absolutely no reason to come to NYC.
