united nations secretariat The United Nations Secretariat is one of the principal organs of the United Nations and it is headed by the United Nations Secretary General, assisted by a staff of international civil servants worldwide. The United Nations Charter provides that the staff be chosen by application of the "highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity," with due regard for the importance of recruiting on a wide geographical basis.

NEW YORK SCRAPERS - INTERNATIONAL STYLE I And because the building preceded the legislation of plaza bonuses (only coming to force as a law in December 1961), its bulk was made possible by using only a quarter of the plot for the tower footprint, thus giving it unlimited height as per the 1916 zoning. The buildings employ a similar style of black steel spandrels and soaring white mullions framing the dark-tinted glass -- although here the vertical mullions alternate with narrower black ones, as opposed to their more "dominating" presence on the neighbouring building's facade -- and the building is at 209.5 m of approximately the same size. The building is at 247.5 m one of the tallest in Downtown and its facade consists of glass and anodized aluminium plating between the large supporting columns. www.greatgridlock.net /NYC/nyc3.html

[22 Oct 1997] GA/SHC/3420 : THIRD COMMITTEE IS TOLD STILL TOO FEW WOMEN OCCUPY SENIOR POSITIONS IN UNITED NATIONS SECRETARIAT It was encouraging to see the United Nations Secretariat moving closer towards the goal of achieving 50/50 representation of men and women, she said, but it was disappointing to find that representation of women at the levels of D-1 and above remained low. Noting numerous initiatives such as regional and national workshops, and seminars towards the economic empowerment of women, she said CARICOM countries had been strengthening national mechanisms to carry out the work within the framework of an integrated follow-up to all United Nations conferences. As the United Nations underwent a process of reform, the issues of gender equity, mainstreaming and women's rights within the Organization were particularly important. www.un.org /News/Press/docs/1997/19971022.GASH3420.html

Plots & Plans: Trump's "as-of-right" tower Cronkite lives in an apartment on the 25th floor of 870 United Nations Plaza and will have his view of the Chrysler Building blocked by Mr. Trump’s new building ideally should be erected in the middle of the huge plaza at the World Trade Center, across from the Millennium Hotel as it would act as an excellent foil for that center’s famous twin towers whose spatial resonances have never quite jelled and could use some contrapuntal competition. Building is not easy in New York, in large part because the city has so many regulations. www.thecityreview.com /trumpwor.html

The Midtown Book: Sutton Place area: 860 United Nations Plaza The towers are slightly lower than the United Nations Secretariat Building, as was mandated by zoning, and clearly its glass facades were also in deference to that tower, although they are black rather than blue-green.
