Kucacile ukuba wonke umntu uyazi ukuba inhlangano yomhlaba wonke njenge-UN. Iquka ezininzi iinkalo zobomi, umzekelo:

• Yenza imisebenzi yezoqoqosho;
• Uqhuba umgaqo-nkqubo wokhuseleko wehlabathi jikelele;

Kodwa akuyena wonke umntu owaziyo apho i-UN ikhulu khona. Kwaye kwanjalo ukuba inhlangano inee-ofisi zenkxaso ezongezelelweyo ezintathu-ezimbini eYurophu kunye enye eMpuma Afrika.

Ikomkhulu leZizwe eziManyeneyo eNew York

Iziko eliphambili, okanye ngokuthe ngqo kwikomkhulu, yiofisi apho kusetyenziswa amasebe asebenzayo aphezulu. Indawo yayo kwingingqi ecaleni lasempumalanga yeManhattan, kwi-United Nations Square, i-760, kwi-East River kunye ne-intersection yezitrato ezingama-42 ne-48.

Ukuthumela i-imeyile kuyimfuneko yokwazi idilesi yesakhiwo sokulawula apho i-UN ihlala khona: i-United Nations, eNew York, NY 10017.

Ikomkhulu le-UN liqhelekileyo "indawo yomhlaba wonke"

Iqonga lomhlaba elinommandla wee-73 zeekhilomitha ezili-square. UM. Ngaba "indawo yamazwe ngamazwe kuwo onke amazwe amalungu enhlangano". Kodwa phantsi kwesivumelwano samagunya ase-United States kunye nentlangano, kwintsimi apho ikomkhulu le-UN ikhona khona, kusekho ubukhosi bolawulo lwe-US.

Isakhiwo savulwa ngo-1951 kwaye sinezi-39. Iintlanganiso zentlangano zibanjelwe apha, imiba ebalulekileyo ibanjululwe kwaye izigqibo ezibalulekileyo zokubaluleka kwamanye amazwe zamukelwa.

I-UN yasungulwa ngo-Oktobha 1945, kwaye iintlanganiso zayo zokuqala zenziwa kwi-Great Britain eBrithani, njengoko inhlangano ayinayo isakhiwo sayo. Bamkela isisombululo sokuba iofisi enkulu iya kuba seLake Impumelelo, idolophana kufuphi neLong Island. Ukususela ngo-Agasti 1946, iintlanganiso zeNdibano kunye neBhunga loKhuseleko zazigcinwe kumadlelo aseNew York, kwaye ngoDisemba waloo nyaka uJohn D. Rockefeller, uJr. wabela i-$ 8.5 yezigidi ukuthenga umhlaba kunye nokuseka isakhiwo se-ofisi eyintloko yeZizwe eziManyeneyo .

Inqaku elithandekayo kukuba amaqela amaninzi avotelwe ekwakheni isakhiwo eNew York kwaye anikezela ngokukhetha i-ofisi ephakathi. Ngokomzekelo, iKhanada inqwenela ukubamba ikomkhulu e-Ontario, kwisiqithi saseNavi, kufuphi neNiagara Falls. Abaninzi bavotela esi siphakamiso, ekubeni indawo yayikuloo mda phakathi kwamazwe amabini, kodwa ekugqibeleni, i-New York yonyulwa.

Kuze kube ngoku, izapolitiki zicinga ukuba ukhetho olunjalo lungalunganga, ungaqondi ukuba kungani i-UN kwikomkhulu e-New York kwaye yenza iziphakamiso zokudlulisela ulawulo kwindawo efanelekileyo, ngokwabo. Ngaloo nyaka, ngo-2009, uMongameli waseLibya uMadida Gaddafi wancenga enye indlela: ukufumana ukubonakaliswa kwentlangano eBeijing okanye eDelhi, ngenxa yokuba, wayekholelwa ukuba yiMpuma edlala indima ephambili ekuphuhliseni uluntu.

Eli akusiyo kuphela iofisi apho i-UN ikomkhulu khona. Umbutho uhlala kwiizwekazi ezahlukeneyo. Iiofisi ezine kuphela. Eyona nto iphezulu eNew York eManhattan, incedisi, okanye kwingingqi:

• ESwitzerland (eGeneva);
• E-Austria (Vienna);
• E-Kenya (iNairobi).

Ngowe-1996, iHlabathi yathunyelwa kwi-ofisi yaseYurophu, nangona iSwitzerland ingeniswe kwi-UN kuphela emva kweminyaka engama-6.

Kuyaphawuleka ukuba ngaphambi kokungena kwesakhiwo apho i-ofisi ye-UN ikhona khona, umntu unokubona umfanekiso wesimo esikhulu esinomlenze ophukileyo - umqondiso wokubhikisha ngokusetyenziswa kweemigodi ezichasene nabasebenzi.
