The Security Council Chamber is a gift from Norway - it was designed by the Norwegian architect Arenstein Arnenberg. In the Council Chamber, the first thing that attracts attention is a large panel (oil on canvas) by the Norwegian artist Per Krogh. It depicts the Phoenix bird rising from the ashes, a symbol of peace being restored after the Second World War. The dark, ominous tones at the bottom of the panel give way to figures in bright colors that symbolize hope for a better future. The idea of ​​equality is conveyed by a group of people weighing grain that will be distributed to everyone. Tapestries embroidered with blue and gold silk threads on the walls and curtains on the windows overlooking the East River depict an anchor - a symbol of faith, ripening ears - a symbol of hope and a heart - a symbol of mercy. According to the Charter, the Security Council has the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and safety.

The Economic and Social Council Chamber is a gift from Sweden. It was designed by Swedish architect Sven Markelius, one of 11 architects on the international team that designed United Nations Headquarters. Swedish pine was used for the delegates' lounge, as well as for the handrails and doors. Special attention The hall is attracted by the pipes and ventilation holes visible in the ceiling above the gallery for visitors. According to the architect's plan, all structural elements having one purpose or another were to remain open. The "unfinished" ceiling is usually taken as a symbolic reminder that the work of the United Nations in economic and social areas never stops: there is always something more that can be done to improve the living conditions of the world's population. The founders of the United Nations recognized that the key to ensuring world peace is economic and social development and international cooperation. According to the Charter, the Economic and Social Council is called upon to create the conditions for economic and social progress and promote universal respect for human rights. The Council coordinates the work of the United Nations system, which includes over 30 programs and specialized agencies.

One of the main exhibits in the lobby of the General Assembly is the Foucault pendulum, donated to the United Nations by the Netherlands in 1955. The Foucault pendulum, named after the French physicist Jean Bernard Leon Foucault, serves as visual evidence of the rotation of the Earth. It consists of a gold-plated sphere partially filled with copper metal that is suspended from the ceiling 75 feet in the air by stainless steel wire. The universal joint allows the sphere to swing freely in any direction. An electromagnet installed under the pendulum compensates for friction with the air, ensuring uniform movement of the pendulum. Visitors can see how the direction of the pendulum's swing changes throughout the day due to the rotation of the Earth. The sphere completes a full cycle in 36 hours and 45 minutes.
