The 18 acre site is an international zone which belongs not to the U.S., but to all member states; this makes for some complicated legal rhetoric. The actual earth underneath the building belongs to the United States, but the United Nations Headquarters site is granted extraterritoriality status, meaning that it is exempt from local jurisdiction. However, this does not grant immunity to those who commit crimes at the Headquarters, as they must remain under the jurisdiction of the United States. The physical...
