UNO Plans Vast International City Site near New York
An UNO site committee recommended a 40 to 50 square mile tract on the New York Connecticut border as the first choice for an international city hosting UN headquarters. New York City would serve as interim HQ while a permanent capital is built, with Italy none. The enclave would be owned by no single nation, overseen by the United States for policing boundaries, and the secretary general could request American armed police when needed.
