Your comment seems to imply that the placement of the UN HQ and GA is somehow …a reward for a country’s virtue? What kind of silliness is that?
The choice of placement of the UN HQ&GA should be guided by a simple principle: what place in the world is stable enough, neutral enough and independent from external pressure enough to be the place where representatives of all the countries in the globe, regardless of whether they are good or bad or «good» or «bad» can reliably meet without hindrance under a flag of truce.
It’s a fucking practical question not a moral one.
Ya as much as I hate the Swiss for being neutral throughout all conflicts and rarely picking sides, they’ve become rather well known for being neutral throughout all conflicts and rarely picking sides.
Yeah because the Swiss are so virtuous and have never ever aligned with nazis.
